Kristina Werner's Color Challenge

I check Kristina Werner's blog frequently, ok obsessively. I always plan on joining in for the Color Inspiration Challenge. I enjoy these challenges because she always uses Stampin' Up! colors. I write down the colors, pull them out of my stock and I have every intention of stamping but during the week things get crazy with homework and other activities and I miss the deadline.

This week I jumped right on it though because I love these colors. I hope my card inspires you to do a little creating yourself.

Weekly Color Challenge

Time again for another one of Kristina's color challenges! This week's challenge is to use Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Soft Sky and Very Vanilla. I love these colors together don't you? It's so soothing, beachy and yummy at the same time.

Are you playing along? Grab these colors and create something spectacular. I know you can!

Inspiration

I haven't stamped in about 2 weeks. As most of you know I have a lot going on right now. Stamping has just been on the back burner. I'm sorry you've had nothing to look at lately. I really must get my mojo on. I just have to get in that little room of mine and stamp something, anything!

Where does your inspiration come from? I find myself really drawn to Kristina Werner's blog and challenges. Her style inspires me. It's so simple, clean and professional looking.

What inspires you? Nature? Colors? Magazines? Blogs? The Stampin' Up! catalog? Just find that one thing that truely inspires you and run with it.

Stamp a little this weekend. I challenge you!

Kristina's challenge

I stalk Kristina Werner's blog daily. I just love her simple and clean style. She also happens to be a graphic designer for Stampin' Up! so a lot of her work is done with my favorite papers, ink and stamp sets.

She has started a color inspiration challenge that I thought I'd try my hand at this week. It's quiet here now that the kids are back to school so I had a little time to stamp. It's a miracle!

The colors she challenged us to use are Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie, Orchid Opulence and Black/White for the neutral. I never would have put these colors together but they look gorgeous! Try to incorporate these colors next time you sit down to create.
