SDC263: Color Challenge

Hello There, Sarinda here and I will be hosting this go around on our challenge. I use Design Seeds blog (((For all who love color))) I use them for inspiration all the time and wanted to share this with you. This is where it all starts for me, it’s in the color. Whether it in my journal, glass art or stamping I love to play with color.

When I chose this as my theme, I was not sure what I was going to make. All I knew is that I loved the warm and cool hues together, something exciting for my eyes. I have always created jewelry and started out my art business that way and obviously to morphed into something very different. Regardless- I miss it and wanted to make something to wear to a gallery opening a few weeks back. So here we are.

I hope you find some fun in thinking outside the box with this challenge. Just play and see where it takes you. Wishing you a very creative day even if it is only in your minds eye.

Please remember we are now doing weekly challenges so you will have until Tuesday, 9/4/12 to link up below using Inlinkz and play along for your chance to win. All winners from the challenges from the month will have a chance to win, we will randomly draw 2 winners for a $30 gift certificate for Stampotique stamps at our first challenge of the following month (September).

Now feast your eyes on some color from our design team:

Thanks to all who tried their hand at Gez' One Layer Challenge last week. Happy to see those go out of their comfort zone to join us!

Gez top 3 picks were:

(please e-mail khowardga@gmail.com if you wish to display the Favorites badge)

Karin... (2)

This card speaks volumes to me, I love the warmth feel of the background colours, teamed with a great image, hard to believe it's only a one layer card.

Pat..... (9)

The colours really caught my eye, I just love the blue/brown combo and very seasonal as we head towards Autumn/Fall, I can't help but feel sorry for Grumpy Dog sat under a tree where all the leaves have fallen off! It made me laugh out loud, poor boy! Great idea to use Jo's abstract foilage for the floor covering, I LOVE everything about Pat's card.

Karen Bearse... (20)

What isn't there to like about this one layer tag! Super background with lots of colour and texture and the sentiment works perfectly with Carrot!

Congratulations to the top 3 picks this week!

SDC262: One Layer Card

Great alterations last week (favorites are now at bottom of post)!!

We are going from one extreme to the next and Gez is our hostess this week:
