Sometimes our creativity needs a little boost. There are plenty of resources available when this happens. A fun way to get your creative juices flowing is to participate in an online challenge. There are many sites that post weekly challenges for card making and scrapbooking. Today’s card was created for a Color Challenge posted here using Island Indigo, Smoky Slate and Chocolate Chip. Although I really like this color combo, they aren’t colors I would have put together on my own. It’s fun to work with a palette that takes you out of your comfort zone. Here is the card I created for this Color Challenge.
I have to admit, the first card I made with this color combo was not very pretty. But I got some pointers from my Graphic Designer son on using these colors together and so I tried again. I am much happier with the second attempt. 🙂 And with that gorgeous Swallowtail stamp how can you go wrong?! Love it. I would like to challenge you to create a project using these three colors also. Please share with me what you come up with!
Love the coloring…the butterfly is so soft…looks like it is under vellum! Thanks for playing the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge this week!
You did a great job being pushed out of your comfort zone! I also like to be pushed…it’s so easy to get stuck in a rut. Your butterfly is soft and pretty and the sentiment fits in wonderfully! Thanks for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!
Beautiful, elegant card! I love how you muted the colours to make them subtle and gentle on the card. Thanks for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary this week. 🙂
Your coloring on the swallowtail is so soft and pretty! Perfect way to frame it and that is such a lovely verse! Thanks for joining us this week for the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary!
I’m glad you found a way to use these colours! Your subtle colouring of the butterfly really allows your framed sentiment to become to focal point – just lovely. Thanks for joining us over at Create With Connie and Mary this week!
lol…glad your son was able to help you out! Funny how just moving around the colors and white space can make a huge difference. Beautiful card…yes, can’t go wrong with that butterfly image! Thanks for playing along with the color challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary!
