Spring Color Inkspiration #1

Welcome to a new CHALLENGE here on my blog. I always find myself drawn to color combinations and so I have decided to issue a color challenge.

I don't know about where you live, but here in AZ, the weather has been amazing lately. A couple weeks ago it even got to be a little bit *hot* to me. It was like 89 degrees or something, already, in March . . . anyway, this week we seem to have gotten a little more breezy and the sun is shining and it is high 70's - Low 80's -- basically perfect SPRING weather. I was at the grocery store the other day and I bought myself some tulips, because nothing says SPRING like tulips.

YOUR COLORS:
Green Galore
Certainly Celery
Apricot Appeal
Cameo Coral and/or Only Orange

Happy Stamping! If you choose to upload your card to SCS or Papercraft Planet, please use the key word ACI (for Amanda's Color Inkspiration, no spaces) so I can see all your lovely creations.

Please feel free to link your creations below in the comments section of this post. I will be drawing from the uploaded cards (using the keyword ACI) on SCS monthly, and will be sending out fun blog candy (yet TBD). Oh and tell your friends -- this will now be a weekly thing here . . . I thought it would be fun to have color inkspiration challenges every Thursday, because I always need something to help me make it through to the weekend, so check back for another one next week.

Hope you have a fantastic Easter Weekend!

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
