Experiment in Color

Today's card is an experiment in color as the title says. I tend to get into "safe" color ruts. 

 How about you?  

I usually pick out my main color or patterned paper in my process of creating, then choose the coordinating colors.

When I'm in a color rut, I pull out my SU Color Coach #130118 and choose the Creative Combination to complete my project. I must confess, it usually tends to be a challenge, but I move forward to stretch myself. This card is one that has stretched me.

My inspiration for the layout was the unscripted sketch #226.

The color combination the Color Coach suggested 

Pumpkin Pie 105117

Pacific Point 111350

Real Red 102482

Quatrefancy DSP 130141 was the paper I used as my starting point.

Ink:  Real Red 126949

Stamp Set:  Lot's of Thanks 129690

Pacific Point 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon 126876

Perfect Polka Dots 117335

Whisper White Baker's Twine 124262

*SU buttons retired

I'm still not sure if this color combo is pleasing to me, but like I said, I need to get out of my color rut and the Color Coach helps me to do that.

If you have the same difficulty with color as I do, or great color combinations, why not order your SU Color Coach (pg.139 @ $14.95) and start experimenting. You can go directly to my DBWS to order that or any other of the products listed here on this post. I would love to have you as a customer and be your Creative Coach!

Just Under the Wire!

I had a chance to play today and decided to try the MOJO314 Monday challenge for the week.  I'm just making this under the wire. I believe the last time I looked at the close of this challenge I had just a little over an hour left!

I decided on the color combo of Daffodil Delight, Olive and Night of Navy. This was a color combination suggested on the Color Coach Card. 

I started with a regular 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base and layered from there and followed the sketch fairly close. 

I did add Candy Dots along the bottom and the flag Happy Birthday sentiment. 

I think I will be able to use this as a masculine card since 

I didn't tie the ribbon into a bow and the colors seem masculine to me.

• I used the Square Lattice and Modern Mosaic embossing folders for texture.
• Quatrefancy Specialty DSP
• Mosaic Madness Stamp set
• Mosaic Punch
• Itty Bitty Banners stamp with matching Bitty Banners dies

Have a great evening!
