Are you stuffed? What about leftovers? Are you already planning on turkey salad and sandwiches? Well, in between time, you can take a look and think about our next challenge. This challenge is inspired by the autumn season. For this challenge, make sure you use all of the colors on any paper crafting design (i.e., card, scrapbook layout, mini book, tag, gift bag, box, etc.). The main colors are highlighted in Polaroid inspired color swatches. If you want additional direction on the actual colors, Papertrey Ink’s enchanted terracotta tile, dark chocolate, and ripe avocado are sample hues for this challenge. Feel free to use other manufacturers, such as Stampin’ Up!’s night of really rust/dusty durango, chocolate chip, and old olive. White or cream are optional color choices to add to your projects to create neutrality. Remember, colors can be incorporated into your project in more ways than cardstock. Don’t forget to incorporate the seasonal elements (leaves, acorns, and pine cones), please keep the color combination in mind.
Upload a photo of your project to your blog or online gallery, such as Splitcoaststampers, Flickr, or Papertrey Ink, then copy the direct link to your project to the Mr. Linky widget below. If you do not have a direct link to your blog/gallery posting that features the challenge, your link may be deleted. If it is deleted, no biggie, just come back and re-link the correct link! Only links left in the Mr. Linky widget will be considered for challenge submissions.
We also have a Flickr Group available to share your projects. Please add your projects to Embellish Magazine Flickr group.
