Color Inspiration 45

Good morning, everyone!

This week’s Color Inspiration Challenge might seem a bit familiar. We did one similar to this a while back. However, this time you won’t be able to pick out a fourth color. Mwa ha ha! It’s all monochromatic in only black, gray, and white! :)

This fabric flower is a hair clip that I bought at Torrid last spring (they always have great hair stuff). I was obsessed with flowers and this one was right up my alley because I wear a lot of black. Anyway, the picture is one that I had a friend at work snap a few months ago and just found on my computer.

Anyhow, have fun! I can’t wait to see what ya’ll come up with! :)

I liked this color challenge, nice and simple! I hope my card didn’t turn out to blah or morbid. Thanks for the challenge!

Cheryl March 14, 2009 at 3:52 am

I just found you! Boy do I need inspiration and ideas for color. May I be added to your list to receive e-mails, for that purpose? I am pretty new to this whole cardmaking thing (a couple of years dabbling) coming from scrapbooking I thought it would be a natural crossover. It is and at the same time it isn’t. Please feel free to contact me.
I saw a card from Mary Fish and this is the style I do like, simple. Thank you for your reply, in advance,and for your time for this querie.

Kristina Werner March 14, 2009 at 10:21 am

Really enjoyed this challenge. I have never used Basic Grey before so it was an adventure !

Diana Ball-Seitz March 14, 2009 at 6:30 am

LOVED the simple colors this week. Thank you for the great creations all, and of course thank you Kristina.

nancy Sanders March 14, 2009 at 7:25 am

Kelly booth March 14, 2009 at 9:28 am

anat s March 14, 2009 at 9:32 am

Thanks for the sketch challenge.
I had lots of fun playing with the sketh.

Beth R. March 14, 2009 at 11:45 am

Good challenge! Never used Basic Gray before this and now I’m loving it…
Thanks

MegB March 14, 2009 at 12:11 pm

Such a fun challenge! I’m a first timer, but I can see why so many people play each time!

Deb Rymer March 14, 2009 at 1:57 pm

Cool challenge, Kristina. It was fun with an interesting twist. Thanks for challenging us!

Alberta March 14, 2009 at 4:09 pm

This was a challenge that was made for today, especially since the colors were fitting with the weather here in Nashville…cold and rainy.

Sue March 14, 2009 at 4:12 pm

Love working with these colours…just posted mine :-)

New to the challenges and lovin’ them. Why did I not do these before?
Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Kristina,

I hope you like them.
God bless
Giovana

Lydia March 14, 2009 at 5:09 pm

You KNOW this is my fave color combo!!

donna m. March 14, 2009 at 6:03 pm

This was certainly a challenge, but fun!

Jennifer Magreevy March 14, 2009 at 8:02 pm

You know its sad that I wait each week to see what the color challenge is, write it down with excitement…and then never get the time to actually DO one. Here’s another week gone by that I didn’t get a chance to spend time crafting…lets hope next week I can force an hour to do a challenge! In any case, I love seeing what you post and it at least makes me THINK about crafting. :-)

Michelle March 14, 2009 at 8:30 pm

Bummer. After completing card #1, and posting it in the knick of time, inspiration for card # 2 hit just a bit too late. Oh well, serves me right for waiting until Saturday to complete the challenge. Thanks for the weekly color scheme!

I have never been excited about the round upi before, but since I actually entered this time, I can’t wait!

Samantha D March 15, 2009 at 1:56 pm

I never get to do your color challenges on time. Just can’t seem to get it done during the week. Anyway, just wanted you to know others still play, just late. :) Thanks for all you do.
