Good Saturday Morning & welcome to the Inspiration Challenge
I'm a huge fan of color cards & color combos (you should see my collection of paint chips, lol) & when I came across today's site, I instantly fell in love w/ the colors & the pictures that go with the color cards. I think you'll love it, too! This week's challenge is brought to you by Color Palettes. If you look up at the top, you can view by color & also by 2 colors by selecting the little color blocks. Head on over & prepare to be inspired! Be sure to link us up to what inspired you.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many, or too little, images to choose from, I've uploaded 5 (or more) of my favorite designs! So just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. Click on the images below to see them bigger and to get their links on SCS.
How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the pieces ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Remember, if you are inspired by the creation of another artist, please do not use print-outs of the art in your creation or directly copy their work. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!
Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Also, remember to link to your SCS gallery on this thread. Thank you for joining us on this inspiration journey.

NEED HELP GETTING A LINK TO YOUR INSPIRATION PICTURE?
If you are unable to grab the link of your chosen picture, (on some sites, you can't, it only gives a link to the whole collection), hover over the picture in the collection that you want to link to. On a windows machine, right click the picture (on a Mac, 2 finger click). When the options come up, select COPY IMAGE ADDRESS. This link will be for that picture.

I am sure I used to get updates from that site but spent far too much time browsing and admiring and very little time using the colours. Busy day today but hope to play in the coming week.

Using Color Palette #3703, I went with a snowy scene, inspired by my DD's major snowfall experiences in Pennsylvania yesterday. Recycled a cute figure and sentiment, along with snowflakes, and added an embossed strip which I colored- both recycled from stamping friends. Added dimensional squares to add some dimension to my central panel, and included 2 brads. Here's Snowy Angel

I was inspired by the pink, grey, green and light browns of this color palette #1750. I went with "wood panels" in grey and light brown- and added a stripe of mostly cool colors on the vertical right hand side. Added more texture with my burlap tie and rough twine, and used a die cut coffee cup with a fancy sleeve. Here's Birthday Lattes

What a wonderful place for color ideas...and many gorgeous pictures I could just keep looking at on my wall. TY for that spot. Here is my card..."Tie A Yellow Ribbon"

did a pun- themed card with greens, browns, and oranges- lots of layering for my lion card- added some texture with dry embossing, orange mesh, and rough twine. Colors inspired by Color Palette #3561. Here's No Lion!
