CC391 (9/4/12) Basic Chocolate Gumball: Cards & Color Combinations

artystamper · 09-03-2012, 06:56 PM

It's my week to hostess the color challenge and I have a possibly tricky mix of colors for you!

Basic Chocolate Gumball!

Basic Grey
Chocolate Chip
Gumball Green

I chose these colors after seeing a lovely set of sheets on the cover of a recent Company Store Catalogue. You can see the picture that inspired me here.

My optional dessert this week is to stamp your own patterned paper.

Here is some inspiration from your color team this week:

artystamper (Julia Aston) ME!

MaryR917 (Mary Marsh)

And please give a warm colorful welcome to our September Guest Design Team!!!

Imastampin (Karen Hunsaker)

juliestamps (Julie Cluff)

CC391 Gallery

I can't wait to see how you use these colors in your projects!

Please keep in mind, too, that while we list SU colors for the challenges these are just color reference points. Use the closest colors you have. We want everyone to be able to play!!!

Please put CC391 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!

Thanks for the challenge colors I would have never selected them together but I really do like how they look together on a card!

Unique combo and thought this might be used for a masculine card to use with a gift card enclosure, thus the 'enjoy' sentiment. MY CARD

Neat color combo Julia! I've only made and posted cards for a few CCs and I'm still not exactly sure how they work. I didn't have the exact colors so I used a brown, a grey and a green. I think that's okay ... BUT ... I didn't know if you could add other colors as well, or not? When I've browsed previous CC galleries, there seems to be a mix of both. In this case, if my card doesn't qualify for this challenge, will somebody please tell me so I can remove it from this gallery?

P.S. - This is my first time to post to a challenge, though I've been enjoying looking at them for months, so I apologize up front if I mess up.

Robin Lee · 09-05-2012, 04:59 AM

Challenging color Challenge, but it makes a great masculine card. I combined this week's color challenge with this week's sketch challenge.

Great color combo Julia, for Fall as it turns out! I want you to know I cut into a whole sheet of Gumball Green to put it on this card. I had never used it yet, so didn't have any scraps! LOL
Here is Fall Happy Birthday
Thank you for letting me play!
