Jewelry Color Inspiration #44 & GIVEAWAY

Anyone who knows me also knows that have an obsession for stamping and for JEWELRY! I enjoy participating in other stamping challenges and want to share the fun by offering my own weekly Jewelry Color Inspiration challenge. The challenge will be posted each Sunday and will include a jewelry photo along with the link to the website where I found it.

If you want to play along, simply make a paper project (card, scrapbook page, or 3D item) that includes the colors indicated with the jewelry piece. (If you don't have the exact colors, just use ones that are similar:) Then, submit your creation to me by Saturday, July 11th at 11:59 P.M. using the Mr. Linky box at the end of this posting. You may also wish to post your photo at Splitcoaststampers.com using the keyword JCI.

This gorgeous necklace called Sadona was created by Dee Antil Designs. The necklace exudes warmth with faceted Ruby, Mookaite, rare Sugilite, and Charoite mix with both handcrafted wire accents and Karen Hill Tribe silver. This piece also features two of Motavenda Melchizedek's lampwork beads. The entire necklace is crafted with sterling wire to link the components and then oxidized for an aged look.



The Stmapin' Up! colors from the inspiration photo are Perfect Plum, Really Rust, More Mustard & Very Vanilla; however, please feel free to use any brand & colors that are similar.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I picked this necklace called, Passion, from Superhero Designs. This talented designer from California, Andrea Scher, uses vintage glass, vintage lucite, and some contemporary beads from all over the world along with sterling silver. I love how Andrea packages her designs and includes this qoute: "This is your very own superhero necklace...it will protect you from harm...attract people to you and...create magic in your life"





With this card, I tried a layout case from my new SU demonstrator magazine. I'm not that crazy about how the card turned out, but I LOVE the color combination...definately a "passion"ate one! I hope you find the color combination as fun as I did:)

This week's Jewelry Color Inspiration #5 comes from an unknown source. I saved this photo a few weeks ago from a website and now I can't locate where it came from. If I come across it again, I'll let you all know. Don't you just love this vintage-style charm bracelet?





To further inspire you, here is my Boho For You card, which I put together in a snap! This layout is one of my "old standbys" and works with a variety of stamp sets and patterned paper.
