Color Inspiration #51

I am always so excited when I have time to do one of Kristina Werner's color inspirations! I feel like I'm getting away with something, because I should really be doing something like laundry. 

I used an older stamp set for this card and the next. Its one of the hostess sets from the Stampin' Up!Fall/Winter 2008 IB&C.

:: Live Like You Mean It #111588 (it was the first time I had even used this set .....its so cute!)

Color Inspiration #51

:: I don't post my creations on the kwernerdesign site, but I maybe should have with these...they turned out pretty cute!

Color Inspiration Card

I went along with the 5 basic colors(brown, red, yellow, turquoise, white) of the color inspiration, but then I also added Glorious Green and Pumpkin Pie. It may be hard to tell from this picture that this is a 5 x 7 card. I was originally thinking this would be a great Mother's Day card, however my only "Happy Mother's Day" quote stamp was too large for the little tag I wanted to use hanging from the basket. 

Another thing you can not see in this photo is that I used a texture plate on the white background paper. Maybe if you click on the photo to enlarge the image you will be able to see the detail a little better. (NOPE!....I just tried that and you can't see it....drats!) Okay, so trust me...it really makes the card. :0) 

Stamps Sets Used:: Great Friend #113792, and Petal Pizzazz #113417

Big Shot Dies Used:: Baskets & Blooms #113484, Little Leaves #114511, Texture Plates Kit #4 #114531

My own Color Inspiration....

Okay, well here's something that I think is kind of funny....I kept wondering (wonder, wonder, wonder) why I was so attracted to the Color Inspiration #43.....well duh! If you take a trip in to one of our bathrooms you will find that I have already been inspired by these colors before.

Anyways, I'm probably the only one that will find this funny, but had to share. :0)

Color Inspiration #47

This card lacks something, but after spending way too much time trying to figure out what that was I walked away and said, good enough! At least I stuck to the color combo :0)

Stamp sets:: Just Buzzin' By #113228, Simply Said #115066

Color Inspiration #43

Here it is.....my first attempt at a kwernerdesign.com color inspiration. For those of you who have a tough time choosing your own color combos here is a great way to get you started! Each week there is a new "color inspiration" posted on her blog. 

I didn't have a Brocade Blue ink pad or marker (I can't believe that!), so I used  Brilliant Blue and Summer Sun markers for the candles and Brilliant Blue on the present. Otherwise I followed the Color Inspiration completely. This was fun and I'm going to try to stay with it every week if time allows. Its a great way to get the creative juices flowing for my card making.
