Fav Color Combinations

[barbaralynn]

A couple of months ago, there was a thread were people listed their favorite SU color combination. Now that spring is here and many of us are working on different styles of cards, I thought I would post this again.

What are some of your favorite color combinations to use for cards? I will periodically edit this first post with a listing of what everyone replies, so anyone can then copy and print the list to use.

Bring on the replies--what are you faves right now?????????????

Thanks, Barb

[grammystamps07]

My favorite color combo right now is Tempting Turquoise and either Only Orange or Yo Yo Yellow. Can you tell I have been sunlight deprived for a long snowy winter?

I like purely pomegranate with pumpkin pie right now. Great thread.

Throughout winter it's been Always Artichoke, Rose Red and occasionally So Saffron.

Now it's Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White.

Or Certainly Celery and anything!

These are my favorites. I printed these out and stamped above each color with the little flower from One of a Kind so you can see the colors together like THIS. I put this, some sketches, templates and stuff like that in a book for inspiration.

FYI, the document doesn't print like the picture on my blog. I took a few of the spaces out since there was so much wasted space.

[Stampin' Annie]

Right now I love:
Soft Sky, Real Red, and Basic Black
PTI Berry Sorbet and Whisper White
Old Olive and Pretty in Pink
Almost Amethyst and Certainly Celery

[RockyMountainStamper]

Subscribin'...I always need color inspiration!!

[Anemone]

I have several favourites at the moment.
1)Tempting Turquoise and Pink Passion
2)Tempting Turquoise, Pink Passion & Green Galore
3)Purely Pomegranate & Blush Blossom

[barbaralynn]

Emily--thanks for the attachment. I saved it on my computer and will add those from this psot.

Thanks for sharing--Barb

The edit button goes away after a few minutes in some forums. It just gives you long enough to fix typos.

[barbaralynn]

thank you--Barb

You're correct that you can no longer buy a spool of that ribbon, but that yummy SU Satin Chocolate Chip ribbon is in the Theatre assortment on page 190.

I like Groovy Guava and Wild Wasabi together...also, Perfect Plum, Pale Plum and Barely Banana.

[Carol Lee]

sage shadow bayou blue close to cocoa

[smithr66]

I don't think I've seen this one listed: very vanilla, regal rose and old olive. I really love these colors together.
