KWernerDesignBlog: Color Inspiration #25

Color Inspiration #25

Hi kids! Here's another Color Inspiration Challenge for ya... #25, can you believe it!? I can't believe I've posted 25 of these! Wow!

Anyway, this week's picture comes from the pages of the latest Ikea catalog. Such fun colors! I can't wait to see what you all come up with. :)

SO YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE?

Make a creation (card, scrapbook, etc.) of your own using the above colors. Then take a picture or scan your creation. Upload your digital image to your blog or in an online gallery, and then come back to kwernerdesign blog to share! Leave a comment on this entry with a link to your creation. Please link to webpages, not directly to image files.

Who's in the Round-up?
After the deadline, I'll share my creation with you as well as some submitted creations, consisting of fifteen of my favorites. Pictures emailed to me will not be considered for the Round-up.

When does your creation have to be submitted?
Friday, October 10 at 7:00 pm MT.

Can I use non-Stampin' Up! colors?
Absolutely! Just choose colors that are similar.

NOTE: Those who have websites and blogs, you are welcome to use the above graphic on your blog. For swatches only, you can download the image file by right clicking here (or control+click for my fellow Mac users) and saving the file to your computer. Then upload the swatch image to your blog.

The last challenge you had...with the Pottery Barn plates. Remember those plates? I sent the link to my hubby right after I saw them with the subject line "Aren't these yummy!". We don't have a Pottery Barn here, but guess what I got as a surprise when he got home from visiting his kids in California. Yep 4 of those plates and let me tell you they are even YUMMIER in person. Thanks for posting them hehe.

Jaded:

I was finally able to participate in this and on time! Here's mine. I messed up on the color of the yellow heart because I embossed it so it turned out darker but oh well! I also can't believe how long it took me to make this one. I'm sure the pros that have posted their submissions and KWerner could've made this in about 10 minutes. I'm learning though...
