Kristina’s Colour Inspiration #15

by Sarah on July 11, 2008

in Stamping

By a very happy arrangement of coincidences, my girls are both with our daycare lady, it’s pouring buckets of rain outside and therefore ENTIRELY unsuitable as a washing day, and Kristina has her 15th colour inspiration up!  Sweet!!  I missed out on the last couple, so am very happy to be able to play along this time, and even happier with the choice of colours this week – yay for brown in all of its wondrous variations!!

Here is my take on the colour scheme…

kristina colour inspiration 15

As soon as I saw the colours, Big Pieces leapt into my head as a possibility for the stamp set and I just kind of played around until I was happy with the result!  I originally had planned to use a few of the different stamps from Big Pieces in a linear kind of design, but I ended up with just the one stamp (plus a couple from Little Pieces) in variations of the colour combination.  Add in almost every circle punch I own and there you have it!
