Embellish Snowflakes Color Challenge
20 Comments »Posted in ChallengeDec 11, 2009
This challenge kicks off the winter season! It will be our last challenge for the year, but rest assured there will be more next year. We will be back on January 1 with a new challenge, new team, and new…well, stuff! So, to keep you busy, we hope you are inspired by this challenge that focuses on snowflakes. This past week, most of the country experienced some form of winter weather, so creating something for the winter season shouldn’t be too difficult. The color palette is bright and cheery, so we hope you have some great ideas to share!
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 lemon tart, dark chocolate, aqua mist, and kraft are sample hues for this challenge. Feel free to use other manufacturers, such as Stampin’ Up!’s yoyo yellow, chocolate chip, tempting turquoise, and kraft. Additionally, various color hues are permitted, but try to keep the color combination as close as possible to the colors listed above. 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 snowflakes!
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.
If you want to use the graphic above, feel free to, but make sure you right-click and choose the “Save Image As” choice to save it to your computer, then upload to your blog!
