Blogger's Challenge #8

This week's challenge was "Inspiration". We were to find something that inspires us-clothing, magazine ad, color, anything-and design a card.

I came across this ad in a Family Circle magazine and the colors intrigued me. I would never have thought to put these colors together and I love the combo! I will definitely be using these together again! The colors I used were SU!'s Old Olive, Cool Caribbean (retired), So Saffron, and Really Rust. I added the black brads for the black shown in the photo. I used Paisley on the rust and Canvas on the olive to represent the textures in the photo. On the pillow on the chair there is a rick rack edging, so made that look in caribbean with photo corners. Here is a look at the back of my card to see how I lined them up. (you can also see what I first tried on the rust and decided I didn't like it so went with the paisley Ü)

Be sure to click on the gals on the left under blogger's challenge and see what inspired them this week.
