Color Inspiration #56

Hello all!

This Color Inspiration Challenge photo comes from a shopping trip I took a few weeks back. I was in a local craft store and saw some of American Crafts’ gift wrap. So cute! I loved this collection when it was paper, so I absolutely love it in gift wrap too! Anyhow, I thought these bows had the cutest colors. :)

If you’d like to send a picture in to be considered for a Color Inspiration Challenge, read the details here.

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

Deadline: Saturday, July 18 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”).

Ummm Kristina… Do you think you could have fit any more colors into this challenge?!

Lol!… I better start brainstorming!

Kristina Werner July 15, 2009 at 11:29 am

That’s part of the challenge. ;) I can’t wait to see what everyone does with ALL of the colors. I think I might have to create something for this one, too. :)

Judy July 15, 2009 at 11:07 am

these colors look yummy!!

Heather July 15, 2009 at 1:11 pm

Yummy is exactly the word. . . looks like sherbet to me. Fun!

Ines (Argentina) July 15, 2009 at 2:08 pm

Besos

Denni July 15, 2009 at 3:22 pm

Looks Like Fun! I’m not really familiar with the SU colors, is that a pinkish red? I don’t know if that’s what it’s supposed to look like or if my screen is just distorting it. :) tia

Kristina Werner July 15, 2009 at 4:00 pm

It’s a red red–just a good basic red. :)

Onita July 15, 2009 at 4:07 pm

my first time doing this challenge! very fun :)

Karla July 15, 2009 at 5:46 pm

This is my first challenge and love the colors selection!!!

Dunia July 16, 2009 at 4:06 am

Thanks for all these color inspiration!

Inés July 16, 2009 at 6:44 am

Kristina can I add a bit of polkadot black??

Kristina Werner July 16, 2009 at 9:40 am

A 7th color? I thought 6 would be a challlenge! LOL! Sure, feel free to add black. :)

Inés July 16, 2009 at 2:22 pm

LOL!! TX!

isabelle ganuchaud July 16, 2009 at 7:39 am

Thanks for inspiration! I love your blog…so many ideas and so chic !!!

Julie July 16, 2009 at 6:14 pm

Kristina….CIC virgin….posted my site before I finished my entry…go ahead and delete…I will try again when finished…DUH!!!

Tracey Old July 16, 2009 at 6:49 pm

Great challenge. Had to really think how to get all the colours in. Thanks for the inspiration:)

Linda B July 16, 2009 at 6:50 pm

What a great color combo!!!
At first I thought holy cow how will I ever use all those colors together but when I looked in my paper stash it was pretty easy to make them all work together.
I have posted my card in Mr Linky.

Kelly Sawtell July 17, 2009 at 3:18 am

It was my first time entering your challenge. Great colours. Thanks heaps for the inspiration.

Kris Flynn July 17, 2009 at 7:15 am

Loved the colours – and it was perfect for my flowers. Thank you so much for the inspiration, although perhaps my yellow was a bit too yellow – oh well!

Lorena July 17, 2009 at 8:50 am

Done! Gosh, this one was complicated! Love all the colors, but they’re a lot!
Anyway, thanks for making our scrapminds work hard ;)

Rebekah July 17, 2009 at 11:58 am

Beautiful color challenge. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

Caryl Hope July 17, 2009 at 12:08 pm

First time to join Color Inspiration… love it!

Catherine Thompson July 17, 2009 at 2:49 pm

What a fun colour combo! I had a blast doing this one Kristina…thanks so much! I love the combinations you choose! :)

Dragana Skoro July 17, 2009 at 2:58 pm

Awesome colours. I had to play. Thank you.

Natascha July 17, 2009 at 5:11 pm

I really love the color scheme this week!
I hope I can see your work on this CI :)

Mariana Grigsby July 17, 2009 at 6:25 pm

Hi Kristina, I have a question for you: Can I post more than one card?…. The color scheme is great and I couldn’t stop my inspiration!
:)

Kristina Werner July 18, 2009 at 12:03 am

Generally, I suggest only posting one card, but every once in a while I think it’s okay. Have at it! :)

Mariana Grigsby July 18, 2009 at 6:01 am

Thanks!

Kimberly Trevino July 17, 2009 at 6:27 pm

Wahoooo! This one will ne a good one…..
Thanks Kristina!

Paula Funston July 17, 2009 at 8:17 pm

Kristina,

I haven’t done one of your challenges for a while and since then now have all the SU colours. I had soooo much fun with this challenge, was a bit scared a first but I’m really happy with what I’ve made. Thanks so much!

Paula

Linda July 17, 2009 at 8:25 pm

Hey Kristina

Haven’t done one of your challenges in a long time, maybe a year. Time really speeds by. So many people join in every week, incredible. Your blog is always so helpful and informative. Thanks so much for all you do.

Paula Funston July 17, 2009 at 8:32 pm

Sorry Kristina,

I’ve entered mine twice because when I click on my link it goes to my blog but brings up errors and doesn’t display the card. I’m hoping it is just my computer playing silly buggers.

Paula

Kimberly Trevino July 17, 2009 at 9:48 pm

Man! That was tough!! But lots of fun!! :)

Heather Cudmore July 18, 2009 at 7:09 am

Hi Kristina! I’m a CIC virgin too! I have really enjoyed visiting your blog, and working with these colours: they went really well with the tulip stamp in my Garden Whimsy set. I’ve enjoyed using the ballet blue too: never really used it for a card. Thanks for all the inspiration!!

Jess July 18, 2009 at 7:24 am

I love your challenges and I now have a blog! Here is my submission for this week’s challenge:

Thanks for your inspiration!

Denni July 18, 2009 at 8:41 am

I just added my link! Great challenge Kristina! :)

Deanna July 18, 2009 at 11:03 am
Kimberly Trevino July 18, 2009 at 2:19 pm

I have to post a comment to Mr. Linky to pop up…..:)

Cannie Hunter July 18, 2009 at 3:31 pm

Had a BLAST with this challenge!

Mona Pendleton July 18, 2009 at 4:36 pm

I had so much fun playing with these colors! Thanks for another great color challenge!

audrie July 18, 2009 at 5:14 pm

So pretty!!! I had a problem with my links, I think number 30 should be deleted (I don’t think it qualifies and it’s mine), but I don’t see the X for deleting it. Thanks for your help, and for the challenge,

Audrie

Simplifized (Gina) July 19, 2009 at 9:27 pm

I finally had a chance to work on my rainbow card this weekend for the challenge and found that the challenge was closed. It came out so cute, that I wanted to share it with you in the comments:

Thank you for the challenge, I loved this color combo!
