Color Inspiration #47
This week’s Color Inspiration Challenge comes from my college buddy Adrienne via Twitter! We were in design classes together and she’s A-MA-ZING! She has an awesome letterpress business and she sent me an link to the above image. Don’t those cards look amazing?! I love letterpress! Be sure to visit her blog and her businesses main page, Dingbat Press. Her wedding announcements are gorgeous!
So join the challenge and create something using these earthy colors. :)
And I have to thank the many of you who have been looking through the links and contacting me when you find a spam link. Please continue to do so. I greatly appreciate it! :)

Join us: Make a card/scrapbook page/whatever in the colors above. Color Inspiration virgins, please read the Color Inspiration FAQ first.
Deadline: Monday, March 30 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. (If you’re having trouble saving the swatch-only image, try right-clicking on the link and then on “open in new window”).

Well you are too cute, and your compliments are way too generous. I only WISH I was as talented as you! I thought it would be funny to send over my image since it wasn’t scrapbooked or anything, and your readers all make amazing cards themselves, but now it looks so awesome up there with your color challenge attached to it! I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! Thanks for always being so inspiring!

March 26th, 2009 at 2:05 pmNo way! I’ve never been first…how exciting! This is a fantastic color inspiration (well, I say that about all of them:), Kristina! Thanks for another motivating color combination!
March 26th, 2009 at 2:47 pmThat’s a beautiful combo — I love using “seasonal” colors in new ways…I think this’ll be my first challenge! Thanks for a great one.
March 26th, 2009 at 2:57 pmwa hoo I got to do this challene early. Love the colours this week I might have to have another play in the weekend,I’m sure I can find a little time.
March 26th, 2009 at 3:35 pmOoooh, the deadline’s not until Monday. I might be able to do this one.

March 26th, 2009 at 5:42 pmGreat challenge! I missed being able to do it last week!
March 26th, 2009 at 5:59 pmLove the warm fall colors :-)
March 26th, 2009 at 6:42 pmSo… I’ve been drooling over your digital cutter kits over at two peas, and I have my Cricut, but I don’t currently have the money for Sure Cuts A Lot, so I found the closest thing I could on one of my cartridges… it’s cute, but not as cute as your journaling shapes… saving my pennies!!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
March 26th, 2009 at 8:07 pmWOW spring’s colors!!! I love it :)
March 26th, 2009 at 11:34 pmWOW!! everyone is so talented! I discovered this site via the hero arts blog. Just a newbie and this is my first colour inspiration challenge attempt!

March 27th, 2009 at 10:12 pmHi Kristina….
March 28th, 2009 at 9:44 amI put my link on Mr. Linky and for some reason my blog is not showing the post correctly. I Have tried fixing it and I have contacted Blogger, but its still doing it. Im sorry. I really wanted to play this week and I do have it on my blog and this is the first time I have ever had a problem. Here is a link directly to my blog…http://www.kimberlytrevskrafts.blogspot.com/
I am still working on the problem and I appreciate you taking a look and If you have to remove it, I understand….but I am NOT Happy about it! :(
This sux! If you have any suggestions on how to fix my blog that would be great! Thanks Kristina! Appreciate ya!!
Ok Kristina…..I posted through Splitcoaststampers!The first one I have on Mr. Linkey is my blog and the second one is in my SCS gallery.
March 28th, 2009 at 10:03 amAt least now you can go directly to the card. Thanks for challange!! :)
That one was fun! And I was able to also use it for the Mojo Monday challenge AND it will make a great birthday card for hubby next week! Thanks!

March 28th, 2009 at 12:43 pmIt’s been a long time since I’ve had time to play! But, I had a snow day today…so I had time! LOVE these colors. I’m going to make a stack of cards now. Thanks for getting my creative juices flowing today!
March 28th, 2009 at 1:53 pmWONDERFUL colors this week Krisitna! Thanks for the challenge!
March 28th, 2009 at 5:47 pmI think I missed the round up for the black grey and white color challenge (45) – where did we have the round up?
March 28th, 2009 at 7:25 pmHi – Just thought I’d give it a go with this challenge. I am reasonable new to challenges but like the inspiration you give to try something new
March 28th, 2009 at 8:36 pmHI Kristina,
a lovely colour combo perfect for the begining of our Autumn.
thanks Kim
March 28th, 2009 at 8:37 pmThankyou for your wonderful site and how inspirational you are to so many people. Especially your challenges.. where do you get your ideas from??
March 29th, 2009 at 3:09 amHi Kristina,
having the colour challenge has proven to make the process of creating a card a lot quicker, I must try it again soon,
thanks Petronela
March 29th, 2009 at 6:47 amIs it necessary to have a blog to receive your color inspirations and make entries?

Thanks for the lovely challenge!
March 30th, 2009 at 5:14 amJust in case Mr Linky is wrong & I’m not too late for the challenge – (it’s still only Monday here & I think WA is ahead of you!) I thought I’d pop my link in here!! http://carolinesstamppad.blogspot.com/2009/03/too-late-for-challenge.html
March 30th, 2009 at 5:57 amok, well, I guess I’ll just leave a link in the comments like a few others have done!
Wild About You
March 30th, 2009 at 8:38 amI’m glad you opened it again. I was so bummed this morning thinking I had missed the deadline. Love the color combo. thanks again
March 30th, 2009 at 9:38 amThis is really a great color combo! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
March 30th, 2009 at 11:07 amThis is my first time playing!
March 30th, 2009 at 2:09 pmI was inspired to make a really simple card with strong images standing alone, like the letterpress cards from the inspiration. As I was using the Loop-to-Loop rub-ons, I was wondering if perhaps this was your handwriting, Kristina? Wouldn’t that be funny!?
March 30th, 2009 at 4:45 pmWow! I’m so impressed with the talent in this challenge. Over 200 awesome cards! Thank you so much Kristina, for sponsoring this challenge. It was my first challenge ever, and what a wonderful experience. Can’t wait for #48!! ;^)
March 30th, 2009 at 6:36 pmI have only just found that you opened Mr. Linky again after closing early. My card is on Splitcoast and on my blog and it appears I have missed out on the listing. Bummer!!
March 31st, 2009 at 3:57 amWhat a great color combo! I may have to make another one! :) ~Lori R
April 2nd, 2009 at 1:38 pmI have just found this site and thought you would have a new color challenge. When do the new challenges post? Thursdays?
Looks like it will be super fun and I cant wait to try one out!
Blessings
Christie
I don’t have a set day when I post color challenges. Generally it’s sometime between Tuesday – Friday. LOL! That’s a wide range, but sometimes I just don’t get to it in time to post it on a set day.
