Jewelry Color Inspiration #20 & BLOG CANDY

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 posting a comment by Saturday, Jan. 24th at 11:59 P.M. and including the link to your project. 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!

This awesome bracelet, called Midnight Garden Blue, was designed by Katie of West End Designs. The lampwork beads in this beautiful bracelet were made by Kandace Seeber of Air and Earth Designs.





Here's my Best Wishes card to further inspire you. It's difficult to tell, but I used Bashful Blue when I sponged the flower with Pacific Point and Night of Navy. I threw in a little more Bashful Blue with the photo corner, too:)
