Color Inspiration #29
Hi all! This week's Color Inspiration comes from H&M. I took this photo when I was in Las Vegas this fall. I absolutely love these intense colors! So cool looking!
Anyway, it's a really different color palette so I'm excited to see what you guys come up with. Hopefully it will turn out as cool as it looks in the photo. :)
HEADS UP! I have created a FAQ specifically for Color Inspiration Challenges. See it here. I have clarified some things and added a few rules. Please read it--even if you have participated in the challenges previously. Just read it this once. I'll let you know if I change anything later. :)
What did I change starting with this CI29? Some of you are still linking directly to your blog and not to your specific blog entry. Unfortunately, if you do so I will not count your entry for consideration in the Round-Up anymore and your Mister Linky link will be deleted. So, please PLEASE remember to link directly to your creation--NOT to your main blog page. For more information on permalinks and why you should use them, go here.

Join us: Make a card/scrapbook page/whatever in the colors above. Color Inspiration virgins, please read the Color Inspiration FAQ first. Deadline: Thursday, November 6 at 7:00 pm MT. You will know when the deadline has past because you will not able to submit a new link through the Mister Linky box. Grab this week's swatch-only image. |

You always make us get out of our box -- and that is what I like. I am not saying the challenges are easy :-), but they make me think! Thanks again!
What a fun group of colors to play with this week!

Hi! This is my first ever try with your color challenge. I have been following ur page 4 about a month now & decided I wanted 2 try it. ;) I'm not even the greatest blogger, but I set up a quick blog 4 this...I accidentally put in an empty box, please don't mind it... :P But the card is definitely there 4 a peek (with a closeup 4 a look at the dimensions! ;) I hope u enjoy it :)

I really enjoy the color challenges! Purple is not one of my favorite colors to use, so it was a great way to motivate me to use it. Thank you!!!!
Oh, thanks for the challenge!! The colors knocked me out of my funk!!
UGH! So tough this week. But I always enjoy the challenge. Hope you have a great week

Great colours this week!
Mr linky seems to be working really well.
Thanks for all your work :)

Thanks again, Kristina, for another great challenge. This was extremely difficult for me this time, but I at least did it!! Yippie!!
Hi Kristina! :)
Purple is my nemesis. That said, I still tried it out. Thanks for making me exercise my elegant eggplant use! Hugs,
-Bev
I made one and my 7 year old daughter wanted to join in the fun as well. Thanks for the challenge. . .this was so much fun!
It was more difficult to photograph this card than design it! For some reason my camera makes my taken with teal look more blue. I took the photo outside in natural light, but it still looks weird. I may need to look into that. Thanks for the unique challenge colors this week!
These colors were a challenge for me! But I do like how this card turned out. Everyone has such great ideas! Thanks for the challenge!!
The colours were great, thanks for the challenges...

Thanks for another great challenge Kristina. I absolutely love these colours, but jsut couldn't get them to work for me this week - ah well!
Whoo hoo! I ended up LOVING this color combo! It just goes to prove that you HAVE to try something before you judge it! Thanks for the fun!
Thank you for another great challenge! I found these colors hard to use together. I hope you like it!
Kristina,
I have missed you! I haven't been able to play for a while. Great color combo.

oh how I would have loved to have had Pacific Point already, I'm sure it would have gone much better than Brilliant Blue, oh well!

WOW, what a great idea! Taking pictures when you shop. You rock girl!!
Sorry, I goofed Kristina, could you delete #50. Thanks
Thanks for the inspiration!!! I'm hoping I used Mr. Linky correctly...
Thanks so much for the amazing challenge!

OK, I'm covered with ink at this point, but I think I came up with something like what I am seeing in my head! These colors worked really well for a nighttime trek towards Bethlehem. LOL!
Thank you for the inspiration!
FABO color inspiration, Kristina! Here's my card:
http://stampinwithstacey.blogspot.com/2008/11/in-good-times-or-bad-kwerner-design.html
Hey Kristina, these colors are beautiful but, for me they were difficult to work with. They reminded me of those gorgeous chandeliers at the Wynn in Las Vegas!! Thanks for making us "create"... :)
LOVE this color combination!! It was a little bit of a challenge, but very fun. :) And this is my very first time playing, so thanks so much for the challenge!
Ok, I think I did it right! And these are great colors! So bright! So vibrant! Thanks for posting such a fabulous challenge!
http://nawlinslady.blogspot.com/2008/11/kristina-werners-color-inspiration-29.html
It's all your fault that I didn't do any housework this morning Kristina!! You shouldn't choose such IRRESISTIBLE colours !!!!
These were really challenging colors, but as always fun. Thanks, you keep us on our toes!
The colors were really a challenge. Thanks for keeping us on our toes.
LOVE these colours Kristina thanks for another great challenge
When I saw the colours this week I thought they would be easy colours to put together but that was not so. I do love the colours.
This was a true challenge...I was glad I FINALLY got time to participate...
Enjoyed!!
This was my first color challenge, Kristina! Thanks for the fun combination of beatiful colors. Funny how you don't notice their vibrance until they are grouped so harmoniously. :] Anyway, I was so excited to finish my card that my craftmanship is definitely off, but oh well! This was sooo much fun. Looking forward to more!
♥

I apologize if this is a repeat comment but my link didn't post. :]
I've been visiting your blog for ages now and love the Color Inspiratiion each week. Now I've started to have a go myself and I love it even more!
Fab color combo!
Jo :)
Thanks for this challenge i loved work

Thanks again for a great challenge Kristina... this one was a bit scary though!!!! Well for my anyway!!

First time posting since you implemented the new guidelines. Hope it works! Great colors.
Thanks Kristina!

I did a whole double layout this time - these colors soooo reminded me of our trip to Puerto Rico last winter
http://zukesgirl.blogspot.com/2008/11/kwerner-challenge.html
Thanks for the challenge!
It's my first time posting.
Love the color!
Hmm...Mr.Linky is working sooo well, he won't take my link. I'll keep trying.
--S
Too much fun - Thank you for keeping me entertained.
Once again, a great challenge, Kristina! You always pick the best color combos!

Lindsay, your link is there. You just need to refresh the page to see it. :) #62.
Great colors! A bit intimidating at first but I got something out of them :) Thanks!!
A challenging color combo to be sure, but in the end I really enjoyed stretching myself. I love using colors that are out of my comfort zone! Thanks once again, Kristina!
Another great color combo! Loved it!
That was a really tough one for me. I always seem to struggle when there is no green (for leaves or flower stems...) Thank you for the challenge, and for bringing back the "round up"...I love it!
Wow! Great challenge! It was a tough one, but still super fun!
AHha! I think I've got it. Just in case anyone else is having trouble (and assuming it works!) I use blogger...click on the date stamp of your entry you want to link, it will show you the "address" of the pic; then type that in Kristina's submission spot. I HOPE that's all it takes. --S
Yay! I did a challenge. This one was a crazy combo! But I find that I get in a color combo rut and find most of the cards I make are all the same, so this pushes me to use different colors!
I sure hope I linkded that right!
Thanks for the great colour's Kristina!
Wow when I first seen this one, it was so outta my box that I wasn't even sure I was going to do it!
http://deespapertree.blogspot.com/2008/11/color-inspiration-29.html
Thanks for the inspiration!
This was a hard one for me! I love that picture though! :)
Thanks for the challenge Kristina :-)
Lori
Yowza! This was quite the challenge - very outside the box. Thanks for pushing me this week, it was very good for me. Have a great weekend, Kristina!!
Karen
Loved the colors so much, I wanted to use them again and made a second card for your challenge.
http://sunnysankari.blogspot.com/2008/11/sweet-friend-card-2nd-card-for.html

best wishes,
Sankari
Made it just in time... thanks for yet another wonderful group of colours to work with!
Thanks for the challenge, Kristina!
Thanks for another fabulous challenge!

Here's my card!
http://stampinwithstacey.blogspot.com/2008/11/in-good-times-or-bad-kwerner-design.html
Another tough color combo for me! Thanks for the challenge, Kristina!
As always this was a great challenge!! Thanks.
Goodness!! This one was hard for me. I had to do some digging to find Elegant Eggplant and Taken with Teal cardstock. And I've hardly used any of my Pacific Point. I'm just thankful you had Pumpkin Pie in there as it's one of my faves. Good challenge!
Oooh, I love this combo! It's gorgeous!!! :o)

I'm so excited to finally do one of your challenges!!! I' a big fan!

This was quite a challenge! But thank you, because it really pushed me outside my comfort zone and I really like the way it turned out. I'm confused if I put the link here too, but others seem to be, so I guess I will! Thanks again!

My comment seems to have been lost! I know I submitted about 5 PM MT. I am so upset! I really did a great job this time!
I think i missed the deadline, darn it! I tried so hard on this first entry too-they were hard colors for me to work with. I enjoy your blog & challenges, though I've never (till now) participated, I always check em out. Thanks :)
