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. :)

Ummm Kristina… Do you think you could have fit any more colors into this challenge?!
Lol!… I better start brainstorming!
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. :)

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
It’s a red red–just a good basic red. :)
my first time doing this challenge! very fun :)

July 16th, 2009 at 7:39 amKristina….CIC virgin….posted my site before I finished my entry…go ahead and delete…I will try again when finished…DUH!!!
July 16th, 2009 at 6:14 pmGreat challenge. Had to really think how to get all the colours in. Thanks for the inspiration:)
July 16th, 2009 at 6:49 pmWhat a great color combo!!!
July 16th, 2009 at 6:50 pmAt 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.
It was my first time entering your challenge. Great colours. Thanks heaps for the inspiration.
July 17th, 2009 at 3:18 amLoved 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!
July 17th, 2009 at 7:15 amDone! Gosh, this one was complicated! Love all the colors, but they’re a lot!
July 17th, 2009 at 8:50 amAnyway, thanks for making our scrapminds work hard ;)
Beautiful color challenge. Thanks for the opportunity to enter.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:58 amFirst time to join Color Inspiration… love it!
July 17th, 2009 at 12:08 pmWhat a fun colour combo! I had a blast doing this one Kristina…thanks so much! I love the combinations you choose! :)
July 17th, 2009 at 2:49 pmAwesome colours. I had to play. Thank you.
July 17th, 2009 at 2:58 pmI really love the color scheme this week!
July 17th, 2009 at 5:11 pmI hope I can see your work on this CI :)
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!
:)
Generally, I suggest only posting one card, but every once in a while I think it’s okay. Have at it! :)
Thanks!
Wahoooo! This one will ne a good one…..
July 17th, 2009 at 6:27 pmThanks Kristina!
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!

July 17th, 2009 at 8:17 pmHey 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.
July 17th, 2009 at 8:25 pmSorry 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.

July 17th, 2009 at 8:32 pmMan! That was tough!! But lots of fun!! :)
July 17th, 2009 at 9:48 pmHi 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!!
July 18th, 2009 at 7:09 amI love your challenges and I now have a blog! Here is my submission for this week’s challenge:

July 18th, 2009 at 11:03 amI have to post a comment to Mr. Linky to pop up…..:)
July 18th, 2009 at 2:19 pmHad a BLAST with this challenge!
July 18th, 2009 at 3:31 pmI had so much fun playing with these colors! Thanks for another great color challenge!
July 18th, 2009 at 4:36 pmSo 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
July 18th, 2009 at 5:14 pmI’m sad … I couldn’t get mine to post yesterday. Here it is:

July 19th, 2009 at 9:27 pmI 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:
