Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends!
While we're all enjoying lots of yummy leftovers this week, the team at Inspired By is shaking things up a bit: a COLOR challenge! Read all about it here, then pick and choose the colors you're inspired to use for your cards!
There is an abundance of beauty in this #IB197 photo! I had an unused, brand spankin' new group of wonderful Wplus9 products that, in my humble opinion, were meant for this week! You'll let me know if I'm wrong, right?
I was drawn to the dishes in delft blue, the gold in the table runner, and those gorgeous flowers [and wine] in Merlot! The perfect colors to choose for this
Wplus9 Flora & Fauna 3 set - I was lucky enough to grab a special bundle @dawnwplus9 offered when these products released! OH do I love it when a company includes a die for their main sentiment, too. You'll find the blue and gold repeated in the Scripted Backgrounds.
So! Which colors will you be inspired by? Believe me, if I [the color challenged one] can do it, anyone can! My teamies have offered even more inspiration on our Inspired By blog! Always a fun read - you know, over that second piece of pie!

ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job of using the colors in the IB photo to create this stunning card! I especially love your blue bird. The shade of the blue is so beautiful. The gold and blue subtle script background is tastefully done to bring out the beauty of the focal images.
