CC194: Going Really Vanilla: Cards & Color Combinations

emilymomto3boys · 11-24-2008, 09:58 PM

Hello! In honor of Thanksgiving this week, I thought I'd choose a more *fall-ish* color combo. This one was suggested by chrisations.ink - she saw this combo on a card by Petal Pusher. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

CC194:

Really Rust

Going Gray

Very Vanilla

Petal Pushers's sample

CC194 Gallery

Please put CC194 in your keywords section (and if you have more than one challenge use a comma to separate them) so we can find your card! If you need help uploading click here!

As always, I am open to suggestions for future color challenges! Please pm me if you have one. DO NOT SEND ME AN EMAIL!! If you do not include a sample, it is harder for me to use it! I will probably not respond, as I get several, but I save them for future reference!

This was a great challenge. I used my craft very vanilla ink which had been hiding for over 3 months. I also found my heat gun (lost in a box after moving).

Thanks for a fun challenge.

Okay, I have scraped together colours pretty close to those given for this challenge. I have made this card for beetsampers niece who at 6 years old has been battling leukemia since 4!!! I have a link to the story with this card! Here is my card:

Petal Pusher · 11-25-2008, 04:15 AM

I just got the word that my card was used in the color challenge. The color combo was inspired by furnishings in West Elm catalog. Wowie . . . I'm so excited. Thanks.

I stayed up doing other challenges last night and couldn't wait to see what this weeks colors were. I'm going to take my son to school and get busy on my card. Thanks!

Vicky Gould · 11-25-2008, 04:36 AM

Fun colors! Here's mine:

Have a good day!

lazylizard · 11-25-2008, 04:58 AM

This was somewhat of a limited challenge for me as well because I really wanted to use my cuttlebug, but already had it packed. So here is just some genuine stamping on this card that added the texture and pattern to the card:
Very Bella

cmcmaryd · 11-25-2008, 05:10 AM

I like the idea of doing different color combinations.

I will have to see if I have those colors in my paper selection. I definitely don't have them in my ink selection.

Or I might have to go to the scrapbook store.

NANCYRUTH · 11-25-2008, 05:11 AM

I am still in shock at how beautiful these colors are, Emily you have rocked my bold brights world! TFL! http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=42694

bensarmom · 11-25-2008, 05:28 AM

Okay, so gray and I don't usually work together much so with that said, here are my two cards for this challenge.
Rust and Gray Thomas
Rust and Gray Cottage

ButterflyEars · 11-25-2008, 05:33 AM
