Color Inspiration #48
NOTE: The Color Round-Up for last #47 will be posted tomorrow night (Saturday). I wanted to play and make something with the colors, too. Just needed a bit more time. :)
This week’s photo comes from blog reader Cori. Isn’t that little guy adorable!? The colors come from the hat he’s wearing. There’s a little bit of a rust color peeking out at the top, but we’re focusing on the main three colors plus white. ;)
I can’t wait to see what you guys do with this. I think the color combination is awesome! BTW, if you have a photo you’d like me to consider as a Color Inspiration Challenge photo, please email me the link to the photo. It can be on your blog, a photo sharing site like Flickr.com, or just anywhere. It must be a photo you’ve taken yourself. :)

This is one of my absolute favorite color combos. I’m going to go into mourning when they retire Baja Breeze (and Kiwi Kiss). It has been forever since I’ve gotten the time to play in one of your challenges. I sure hope I have the time get to join you!!!
April 4th, 2009 at 4:39 amBeautiful Colors. Thanks Kristina
April 4th, 2009 at 5:31 amOh no, this is so unfair! We don’t have these colours in Europe :( I have been lusting after them for ages now and trying to get an SU demo from the US to send me some, but they won’t. It’s not fair! Baja Breeze & Kiwi Kiss just look fantastic. Please keep your fingers crossed that we get them in the UK catalogue at the end of the year, if we don’t I will have a major strop! Can’t wait to see all the lushness that everyone creates with the colours!
April 4th, 2009 at 5:34 amLOVE these colors. Love ‘em!!!!
April 4th, 2009 at 7:42 amMy first Color Challenge Submission. I hope you like it.
April 4th, 2009 at 8:55 amI´m happy that I managed to make a card for your lovely challenge for the first time :) Thank you for this opportunity.

Greetings from Germany,

April 4th, 2009 at 12:00 pmI linked my card image to the posting on Fiskateers.com. But I’d prefer to link it to my blog (note the 2nd link)
April 4th, 2009 at 12:19 pmThis is my first time, and I don’t know how to remove the first link that I submitted. My apologies! Thanks, AmyB
I couldn’t wait to play!
BTW, #22. Jamie is a spam link.

April 4th, 2009 at 1:18 pmI love these colors! Thank you Kristina!
April 4th, 2009 at 1:41 pmGreat colors! Thanks so much for doing this every week!
April 4th, 2009 at 1:45 pmThese colors go so well together! :)
April 4th, 2009 at 2:08 pmDang – those colors make me want to KNIT something!! Great color challenge!!
April 4th, 2009 at 2:11 pmHi Kristina
Just wanted to say thanks for your reply to my question about your latest brushes sets. I have the latest Photoshop Elements on my PC (haven’t used it yet though!) so that was helpful to know the colour selection is limited in Word. Just thought I’d try them in Word as it seems easier than Photoshop Elements, think I’ll try Elements then. Oh, what a fab idea of you showing us your latest goodies. I loved that video, almost as good as unpacking my own and secondly nice to have a heads-up of what goodies may be used in your upcoming cards. Now I’m off to place my order….Thanks again
April 4th, 2009 at 2:42 pmI love these colors! Thanks for all the great videos!
April 4th, 2009 at 3:00 pmSuch a beautiful photograph to draw inspiration from! Thanks for this wonderful color combination to work with! Kiwi Kiss is finally starting to grow on me! :D
April 4th, 2009 at 4:44 pmthanks for using my photo – Nate was THRILLED to see his mug all over the computer today!!!
April 4th, 2009 at 8:25 pmgreat colors…used for a swap card I am working on. THanks for the inspiration
April 5th, 2009 at 8:00 amThis one got a little tricky for me, but I love the colors! Now, I have to co check out everyone else’s wonderful take. :) Thanks for another great challenge!
April 5th, 2009 at 8:32 amWow!!!
April 5th, 2009 at 9:24 amI’ve finally made it to make this awesome challenge.
I really love these colors.
Thanks Kristina
WAHOO! I think I did it! I’ve never entered one of your challenges but I really wanted to step out of my box and try these colors. Thanks for your great Blog…I love it!!!
April 5th, 2009 at 10:39 amGreat Color Combination!! I just posted my card.
April 5th, 2009 at 2:42 pmThanks for the inspiration and great challenges.
God bless
Giovana
This is a few weeks in a row that I have been able to play! Thanks!
April 5th, 2009 at 2:48 pmI really appreciated when you made the statement, that you got a mental block or stuck. It helps to know that even designer’s have days when it does not work. Your cards are simple but very nice. Thank you for the opportunity to post cards to your blog. I enjoy seeing everyones card and sharing mine as well.
April 5th, 2009 at 4:14 pmGreat color combo, I’m glad I got a chance to play along!
April 5th, 2009 at 4:51 pmGreat Inspiration Kristina! Thanks for the challenge.
April 5th, 2009 at 7:09 pmIt’s been a while since I participated last but great colours to come back to – thanks
April 5th, 2009 at 9:10 pmSuper colors this week…so cool with the Green Tea DP that has been kicking around in my stash. I know you know this already but you rock!
April 6th, 2009 at 8:06 amhurray I finally got to try your challenge!
its a terrible photo – are there any suggestions on how to take better photos indoors at night?
Try to get a light or lamp that you shine directly on your project. That’s really the only tip I can think of at the moment. :)
I had this problem too! I will have to re-take them another day…off to work!
Hello Kristina can you please delete entry 154 as it redirested incorrectly 155 is the correct lin thank you hope the sun shines in your neck of the world

My first Color Inspiration, and I’m excited!
April 6th, 2009 at 3:46 pmLove the colours. Thanks again for the challenge Kristina.
April 6th, 2009 at 6:03 pmWow the entries are just getting longer and longer, I’m glad it’s you having to pick them and not me.
Thank you so much for the time you have to put into this each week. It is so much fun and makes me for one work out of the box.
Cheers,
Kristy
Although I love these colours, I truly realize the sad shape my paper stash is in!!! I’m itching to shop for more now… especially since I think I’ll be back for more challenges, however, I must be better prepared. Thanks for the fun :)
April 6th, 2009 at 7:44 pmI didn’t participate when you first started the color challenge but I remember when there weren’t this many :) I use to be able to go through them all and comment. Now I just visit the good “old” folks :) You’re going to need an assistant soon :)
April 6th, 2009 at 9:08 pmWell, my first submission, and my first blog. I am still trying to get the hang of it all. Your blog and videos are fab! Thanks for checking out my cards
April 7th, 2009 at 12:04 amKristina,

April 7th, 2009 at 7:05 amThank you, Thank you, Thank you! I’ve been in such a slump lately, but as soon as I saw the color combo I sat down and made a card. Thanks for the inspiration!
April 7th, 2009 at 9:49 amMy favorite color combination!
April 7th, 2009 at 10:24 amThanks again for a great challenge! You are really “forcing” me to think outside the box! I love it!
