Jewelry Color Inspiration #34

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, May 2nd 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.

Those of you who participate in the challenge will receive recognition the following Sunday...so what are you waiting for...join the fun! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

The fresh look of this "Spring" necklace from SavvyGirl & Company is accented with a silver piece and capped off with Swarovski crystals including mother of pearl, dyed jade and yellow turquoise. I have been visiting Cydney's SavvyGirl & Company blog for a few months now and am always amazed at her beautiful jewelry designs. I am thinking of treating myself one of her pieces for my birthday this summer. Trust me, you will be lost in her lovely designs as you scroll through them.







For my card, I used a the Clean & Simple Fall-to Layout #39 sketch as an inspiration along with this fresh color combination. Since I think this is my new favorite color combination, I also submitted it for the Our Creative Corner color challenge.



Stamps: Very Versatile
Paper: Certainly Celery, Perfect Plum, Going Gray CS, Flock Together DSP
Ink: Perfect Plum
Other: Big Shot, Little Leaves sizzlet, Certainly Celery 5/8" Grosgrain, Crafters Tool Kit

A Day to Remember ~ WSC77 & CC215



The Color Challenge #215 over at Splitcoaststampers this week includes Basic Gray, Rose Red, and Pink Pirouette. The Weekend Sketch Challenge #77 also inspired me to make this wedding card.



Something's wrong! It's not like me to leave out the ribbon and/or brads...and as you can tell, I didn't use my Stamp-a-majig for the second step in stamping the flower. I just couldn't throw the image away...it's the "Go Green" gal in me, I guess.

The Walk in the Park Designer Series paper and the greeting from Very Versatile are both from the Occasions Mini catalog. It's not too late to get your free gift with a $40 purchase.

Stamps: Very Versatile, Flower Fancy
Paper: Pink Pirouette, Rose Red, Whisper White CS, Walk in the Park DSP
Ink: Basic Gray, Rose Red, Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers
Other: Scallop Circle, 1 3/8" Circle, and Designer Label punches, Crafters Tool Kit, Stampin' Dimensionals

Jewelry Color Inspiration #30 Submissions

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 Jewelry Color Inspiration Challenge #30 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. Check back later to see the Jewelry Color Inspiration for this week!

I know what some of you may be thinking..."I would never have put these colors together to make a card"...well, neither would I have. I am always looking for unique color combinations in jewelry pieces that I find online and this one definately fit the test! I was drawn to this necklace and kept going back to it on my search for your jewelry inspiration this week. I found this Neon Lights Wrap Necklace at Jenny Sue Jewelry etsy shop. The talented designer is a Speech-Language Pathology grad student who makes jewelry on the side. Go check Jenny Sue's shop for some fantastic jewelry pieces.





Here is the card that I was inspired to make. I had some retired Parisian Summer Designer Series Paper that has not only the Bravo Burgandy color, but a lovely damask print on it. The card base is Going Gray with a double image from the Very Versatile stamp set which will be available on April 1st in the Occasions Mini catalog. The greeting, from Sweet Sentiments, says it all because I continue to be inspired by all of you who participate in my jewelry challenges. The Whisper White Satin ribbon and Jumbo grommet will also be available in the Occasions Mini on April 1st...I love pairing them together. I used a strip of Yoyo Yellow with a scalloped edge to peek out under the ribbon treatment for just a little pop! Can't wait to see what you all come up with! Happy stamping and thanks for taking a gander at this week's Jewelry Color Inspiration #30!



BLOG CANDY WINNER

To sweeten the inspiration a little, I offered some yummy blog candy to my favorite submission! The blog candy consists of three items from the Sale-a-bration brochure: Delicate Dots Designer Series paper, Polka Dot Punches stamp set, Ribbon Bundle, and a hand-stamped card.



Congratulations Andrea from Germany, you are the winner! I love your card using the Great Friend stamp set...your design and details are amazing! Please email me your mailing address and I'll get your goodies mailed to you!
