Jewelry Color Inspiration #45 Giveaway Winner

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 JCI45 was posted last Sunday and included a jewelry photo, color swatches, and my card along with the link to the website where I found it.

This beautiful necklace, Purple Amethyst & Ruby Red Chandelier Crystal Necklace, is from "Jan Finnell is Over the Top" at 1000 Markets. I love the rich tones of this sparkling piece!



The Stampin' Up! colors that I'll be using for my inspiration card are the new In Color, Rich Razzleberry, and three classic colors, Ruby Red, Lavender Lace & Whisper White. Feel free to use similar shades if you don't have these exact colors:)





This sketch, Fall-To Layout #50, is from the Clean & Simple Stamping blog. I used the Out of the Box hostess stamp set to ink up the wee flowers in Ruby Red, Rich Razzleberry & Lavender Lace. Then, I punched the flowers out with the 1" Circle punch and placed an Ice Circle Rhinestone brad through each blossom. The background pattern is from the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper. The main panel was then wrapped with a little bit of Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot ribbon.
