A Little Kinder Color Challenge #3

Hello March! Now that the year long month of January is over, it feels like the year is starting to fly by. The hubs and I have a trip planned for the end of March and the little guy graduates in May. We have lots of visits to schools planned. Oh how I love the warmer weather after a beautiful snow packed winter, too bad we never got a snow packed winter here LOL! Today we are sharing the 3rd color challenge. I am in LOVE with this color combination. It's sweet and speaks to the beautiful flowers of spring! 

Seaside Spray is my FAVORITE blue right now. It's a cool blue and leans a little bit to the baby blues but it's very grown up and sophisticated as a color goes.  I paired it with Petal Pink and Cherry Cobbler, although I don't necessarily see all three together in the same card. I feel like the Cherry Cobbler color needs to be an accent color that it applied sparingly. It's a heavy dense color with a lot of impact. It would be PERFECT for the sentiments of your cards.  Here is my first color inspiration for this challenge. 

Y'all the simplicity of this card is so chic! A little water color splash behind some vellum, a few rhinestones... and it is a beauty!

Details for today's card

• Card Base- Whisper white side fold
• Whisper White Layer cut at 5.25x 4"
• 2" circle of Vellum
• Umbrella Punch and Under My Umbrella Stamp set
• Basic Rhinestones

A Little Kinder Color Challenge #1

It's time for our FIRST color challenge!! I am so excited. Since the next big "event" happening on the calendar is Valentine's Day, I picked a color combination that has a little sweet mixed with the ability to create for the men in your lives. When my daughter was still living here we were balance boys and girls- two of each. Now that she is in college, I'm out numbered! The guys seem to rule the house. I love my boys (the hubs and the son), but pink , blush, and red will not work for them.

So there it is... our challenge is to use Flirty Flamingo, Smoky Slate, and Basic Gray. I am envisioning beautiful projects both for Valentie's and everyday. This color combination screams classy and classic  couture like Chanel. While not full of trendy colors, these will stand the test of time! I can't wait to see what you create.

Some Inspiration for you:

I really did have a lot of fun with the color combination. It's very timeless. I also loved that arrow stamp! I can't wait to play with this set again. Now I'm dying to see what you come up with!! Link below...

Big things coming in 2020

I am so excited about the new year and the start of something new here on the A Little Kinder blog. I am starting my very own color challenge... more to challenge me to create beautiful things but also for you. I am hopeful that the color combinations that I challenge you with will inspire beautiful projects.

This challenge will post twice a month, on the 1st and the 15th. You will have until 11:59pm central time on the 14th and 30th to link your creations in the InLinkz gallery. The rules are simple... get inspired! Use only the colors in the challenge and what I am calling "basics". The basics include whisper white, very vanilla, gold, silver, and black. You can create anything! Cards, tags, gift boxes or bags, 3D projects, home decor... the sky's the limit. You will only be able to link 1 project though.

The Day family (me, the hubs, the son, and the daughter) will pick a favorite each. The favorites will get featured in a second post. Fun right? I also am planning to have a blog button at some point down the road.

As we close out the old year and bring in the new I hope that you will find time to join my color challenge!

Get Ink'd #13 Color me challenged card

Hey Y'all!!
Today I'm sharing a color challenge card I made for my team's monthly color challenge. Here is the inspiration that we were given:

And this is what I made:

To get the two different shades of Real Red and Mint Macaron, I used the second generation stamping technique. This is where you ink the stamp and stamp it off on scrap paper. I love the way that this gives two perfect shades of the same color. I used Blueberry Bushel paper because I'm out of Night of navy. Really? Who runs out of paper? Me apparently. Anyway, I pulled out my Brusho powders to make the background. Brusho's are highly concentrated watercolor pigments that you sprinkle on to paper. I used watercolor paper for this card but you can use Thick Whisper White or Thick Very Vanilla.

I hope that you were inspired by either the color combination or my card. Get your supplies by clicking on the pictures below and get crafting!
