Make It Monday #694 - Using Color Inspiration

Hello, dear readers (are there any of you out there?). Happy Friday.

Sorry for my absence lately, in case you've noticed. I have hired out my oh-so-coveted Fridays off to help another adviser in my office, so a majority of my crafty time (and sanity) has vanished, along with the much needed extra few hours of sleep. But this week, I still found time to get a little inky.

I decided to try my hand at using Nichole's techniques for using color inspiration for a project. You can see her video here. One thing that she point out to add balance to a card is to try to incorporate your colors 3 times on the card. Well, having chosen a color inspiration photo with 5 colors made that difficult for me, especially since I tend to lean toward the CAS style. So as you'll see in my card, some of my colors appear only twice. But I still consider this a victory, as I think I put a lot of stuff on this card, but I still like how it turned out!

Here's the color inspiration piece that I chose for my card today:
 Ans here's my card. I hope you like it!


Have a great weekend!

  1. Wonderful card-wonderful take on the colors. The houndstooth background is terrific in contrast to the circle and banners. So much to see without being cluttered!
