Color Inspiration #32

112508-color.jpg

Good morning! It's early here and I'm running around getting ready to go out town for the Thanksgiving holiday. It will be so great to just spend time with family, ya know? :)

Anyhow, this week's Color Inspiration Challenge comes to us from Crate and Barrel. They has some really beautiful Christmas stuff right now, and with it being exactly 1 month until Christmas (ahh!!), I thought I'd pick some Christmas-y colors. Hope you enjoy! This photo features their Oversized Lightbulb Ornament set.

A note on the colors... I really wanted to put a metallic color in there. So if you have some sort of gold or silver something, you can substitute it for the Sahara Sand color.

BTW, I moved the deadline out a bit longer than usual this week because of Thanksgiving. Ya'll have until Friday night. :)

Join us: Make a card/scrapbook page/whatever in the colors above. Color Inspiration virgins, please read the Color Inspiration FAQ first.

Deadline: Friday, November 28 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.

Deborah:

Hi, I love your site, your videos, and your color challenges!

I have three questions:

1. I opened my blog post with my cards using the permalink and copied and pasted that into the field below my name. Is this okay?

2. I made three different cards - is that okay?

3. Are you allowed to use other colors IN ADDITION to the colors in the palette? (EX: a patterned paper which has the red and white from the challenge but also some green.)

Thanks!

Kristina says: Hi, Deborah! Okay, here are some answers for ya:

1. Yes, that's the correct way to link. :) No worries.
2. Yes, you can make as many cards as you would like.
3. I would say that if the majority of your creation (maybe like 90%) are just the colors, that would be okay. It's really just up to you. The colors are just a starting point. :)

Hope that answers you questions. If you have more, let me know. :)

Sankari W. :

Hi Kristina -

great inspiration colors. thanks for the info on hot-linking. i have a MAC and I don't have a right click - I just download it to my computer and then upload the color inspiration onto my blog... i think that's how you explained not to hot-link... i am still a bit confused - but hope I did it right...

i also had deborah's question above -- is it okay to make more than one card for your challenge? i made two for this challenge - because i really enjoyed working with these colors...

thanks,
best wishes,
sankari <
