CP Colour :: Card Color Challenge Solved

When it comes to color, there isn't always an obvious direction to go. CP Gal, Wida Miller, discovers this first hand and finds a solution that perfectly suites her card and design mood.

Finding color combinations can sometimes be a real challenge, but more often than not, it can be the one motivating factor to push forth a really great project idea. Color can make all the difference in the world when it comes to project output. For example, the card awaiting you today is one I created with the help of Pinterest. While there, I discovered a color palette that is bright, inviting and full of charm. It literally saved my project!

To begin, I embossed a section of white card stock using the floral patterned Open Book embossing folder. It produces a subtle design that is timeless and has infinite possibilities!

I then moved forward with the addition of Open Book's woodgrain paper and a gold & black ephemera piece. It was here that I hit a wall. I hadn't a clue what to do or which colors to use and so, I sought out Pinterest for color inspiration.

**Did you know Crate Paper has a Pinterest board dedicated exclusively to color? Well, that is where I went and found this beautiful image:

The solution lay right in front of me–PINK!!! It was the jump-start needed to finish the card!

Here is the final result–the card resonates happiness! It is decorated with flowers from top to bottom, including an embossed floral background introduced earlier on.

Crate Paper's Open Book has to be one of my favorite collections thus far. The flower ephemera is a must have. I love that some of the pieces are coated in glitter and cut from vellum.

If ever in a color rut, don't despair. If you've yet to start a color board at Pinterest, now is the perfect time to consider creating one. Make sure to follow Crate Paper's 'Color Love'as we gladly invite repins! There is no such thing as too much color.
