A couple of weeks ago, I thought it would be fun to troll the internet for various pictures that I could gather color inspiration from. I found a bunch and I started putting them up on Pinterest. Yesterday, I thought it would be fun to start blogging them.
Here is a picture I found on the Home Decorators website of some bedding and the colors I pulled from it:
I love the calm effect you get from putting these colors together. I sat down to design a card with these colors, and it screamed masculine to me. This is what I came up with:
- The Open Sea 123030 (W)/123032 (C) $26.95 (W)/$18.95 (C)
- Teeny Tiny Wishes 115370 (W)/127802 (C) $36.95 (W)/127802 (C)
- River Rock Card Stock 108640 $6.95
- Early Espresso Card Stock 119686 $6.95
- Very Vanilla Card Stock 101650 $6.95
- Baja Breeze Card Stock 111352 $6.95
- River Rock Ink Pad 126977 $5.95
- Early Espresso Ink Pad 126974 $5.95
- Baja Breeze Ink Pad 126960 $5.95
- Big Shot 113439 $99.95
- Square Lattice Embossing Folder 119976 $7.95
- 7/8" Cotton Ribbon 127844 $7.95
- Stampin' Distress Tool 127562 $4.95
- Stampin' Dimensionals 104430 $3.95
What do you think? Isn't this a great combination? Well, if you love this combo, you'll want to act fast. River Rock and Baja Breeze are two of the colors that are retiring at the end of next month. The retiring colors are available while supplies last, and it is impossible to predict what is going to sell out and how soon.
To help you stock up, Stampin' Up! is running a free shipping promotion this weekend, April 6-8. All orders placed during this time qualify for free shipping, with no minimums! There has never been a better time to stock up on those colors that are retiring. And, don't forget ink refills! Our new pads are fabulous, but they do require more regular reinking to stay in fabulous condition.
You can access my store by clicking here. For every $25 you purchase this weekend, you will get an entry into a drawing to receive some of the new colors when they are released. The exact prizes will be determined by the amount of the orders placed.
Happy Stamping!
Michelle
