Which color do I choose?

I came across this card on Darlenedesigns.com and had to make it, because I loved the color combo...but when I printed the photo, my printer was running out of ink , so the colors came out much lighter....and I think I liked those colors better!  So here are both cards, one as the original, and one as the lighter version...

Night of Navy, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip (ribbon)


Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Pear Pizzaz (D/S paper)

Color Combo obsession continued....

Here's my take on the previously posted card...using the Friendly Flowers set...I inked the stamp with markers to make the center piece...



So Saffron, Rose Red

My name is Kate....

...and I have OCD....okay, I can admit it!...I saw the above card on Splitcoaststampers and became OBSESSED with the color combo--Rose Red & So Saffron...(I'm also OBSESSED with the layout, but that's another post!)

 I just had to try it out--so here's what I came up with....

Pink ornaments?

I received the first card for the holidays and I was so intrigued by the color combo that I had to try it for myself!  I'm not thrilled with my end product but at least I gave it a shot!

Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red

*the gold embossing powder has gold glitter in it*

**I know you are probable sick of Christmas, so I will stop for a while!  I'm so sick of it, too!***

Color Inspiration

I ripped this ad out of some card making magazine several years ago and came across it again recently and thought it was so pretty...and besides, it had 2 retiring colors (Gable Green and Cool Caribbean-which I've been hoarding since the last color renovation!)  So I decided that this color combo (which includes Chocolate Chip and Rose Red) would be perfect for this punch card...I used the 1" circle punch to create the circles and trimmed off a tiny sliver of the edge of the card and added a splash of Gable Green to the inside edge of the card with the Scallop Edge border punch...the greeting also hangs over the edge of the front of the card for an interesting effect....and don't forget the rub-on greeting...they are so easy to use!

Color Inspiration

I've been getting a ton of catalogs, and instead for just recycling them, I decided to find some color combos in them...this card (using The More the Merrier Hostess set) uses the colors form the top sheet set...Pixie Pink, Pink Passion, So Saffron and Pumpkin Pie....a jumbo Heart Eyelet (retired for SU!) acts as a cherry for one of the cupcakes....

Color Inspiration #2

Here's another color inspiration...from another Old Navy T-shirt...now I'm scouring everyone's closets for ideas! Here's I used the new In Color Crushed Curry and Basic Gray for a sort of manly card using Circle Circus....

Color Inspiration

I've always struggled with choosing interesting color combinations...so when I sat down the other day to make a card, I looked at my shirt! I was wearing this long sleeve tee from Old Navy and it hit me that the shirts' colors were three of SU!'s colors...so I made a few cards using the Wow Flowers stamp set....
