Paper Crafts hops are always fun, don't you think?
Today I am here to chat about the fab-u-lous Color Inspiration idea book that I mentioned on Wednesday.
This was one issue that stretched my creativity to the limit. Many color combos were intimidating to me, because they were outside of my comfort zone...but I had a blast playing! I loved the process of searching through my craft room for specific colors...it felt like I was on a treasure hunt!
10 designers were challenged to create a new card using the same colors that sweet Lea used on her cover card. Here's mine:
For further inspiration, using this same fun color combo, please visit these talented designers:
- Julia Stainton
- Chan Vuong
- Latisha Yoast
- Teri Anderson
- Betsy Veldman
- Lea Lawson
- Kim Kesti
- Kalyn Kepner
- Kim Hughes
- Lisa Johnson
THIS is where you will find this amazing book!
If you stop over to the Paper Crafts Connection blog, you will have a chance to win a super huge prize (yay)
You also have a chance to win a copy of Color Inspiration for Card Makers by leaving a comment here (and also at the blogs listed above)
Since I am currently on vacation, tell me where you think I went. You do not need to guess the correct place to win, I will choose a random winner from all comments, no matter where you guess. You have until Sunday, Jan. 16th to play along. I return on Tuesday, so I will be able to post my winner on Wednesday, so please come back then to look for your name...good luck :)
lovely card Kim, I am guessing you went to Hawaii(wouldn't know if their weather is ok because I don't live in US.
