Hello! Samantha here today with what seems to be a pretty trendy color combo for today’s challenge.

 

Photo Credit

So today’s colors are Orange (Orange Fizz), Turquoiose (Berrylicious or Blue Raspberry), and Brown (Kraft or Hot Fudge). This is a great color combo for masculine cards. I created this one for my nephew’s birthday (he just happened to be turning 7, so I used 7 candles).

Here’s my card:

This was a pretty simple card to put together. The final card measures 6″ x 4″. I stamped the birthday candles from Birthday Icons 3 times on white card stock. Then I colored them with Copic Markers, cut them out, and attached them to the card. I like how they really pop against the kraft background.

Hi Vicki here today with the Color Challenge for the month of August.

The colors this month are Purple, Red and Black, with any neutral.  Easy enough~  How did I make this card?  I inked up my acrylic block, spritz it with water and stamped it on my card stock.  I love this effect, you can’t plan how it will work out! :)

Remember, if you are the random winner, you win a prize at the end of the month!  I can’t wait to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by~

I created a card from this inspiration using a few of my favorite stamps from Stamp School.

Hi Everyone – Art Room today. Today I am taking the art class more towards your creativity — any 2 same colors, different shade, with neutral of your choice. [Yes, you can use designer paper also, but again, keep it in the same color scheme.]

In my sample I have used 2 different shades of orange. While I did use some scrap dp, you do not have to — 2 blues, 2 greens, 2 grays whatever you have, feel free to use. Now how easy is that?

I look forward to seeing what you create! REMEMBER: There is a random winner at the end of the month who will win PRIZES!! The more challenges you play in here at Stamp School, the better your chance of winning! We have Art Room (color) and Geometry Room (Sketch)challenges during the month. [See above tab for Current Challenges.]

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Everyone!  Rochelle here!  I’ve been Pinteresting again!  I found a wonderful inspiration photo of lemon and lavender against a teal background.  I found it dreamy and just the right amount of inspiration for my husband’s 6th anniversary card!  We were married six years ago yesterday!

 

 

These rich Bazzil colors are so easy to work with!  Also the Wedded Bliss stamp set is so versatile and classy…don’t you agree?

Hi and welcome to Art Class!  Amber here this week from The Country Scrapper to bring you inspiration  for this week’s challenge.

I love the beautiful picture above of “Fanciful Fungi”.  You can visit this website for more information on the picture.  I want you to create a project inspired by the colors above: Blue, Cream, and Brown.

Now for my creation:

This month, Stamp School is all about weddings.  So I took the darling stamp set “Down The Aisle” to create a baby card.  I love stamp sets that are versatile and allow you to “think outside the box”.

Art Room Color Challenge 6-11-12

Hi Everyone! It’s Jocelyn Olson, and this is my second post as the Guest Designer for June. I had to choose three colors for the challenge…I must have tested about 10 different inks. The colors I selected were Lilac Posies, Jawbreaker, and Bahama Blue:

Here’s the card I created using these colors:

 

I used the flourish element in Down the Aisle and stamped it back to back to create three larger flourish elements. I masked part of a larger sentiment from Wedded Bliss and popped it up on a banner. I finished the card with a satin bow. You can never go wrong with black satin on a wedding card!

 

Now for the challenge! Make up your card using the colors above, post it on your blog, and add a link to your card below. Make sure to post it to your actual blog post and not just your general blog address. You have until 11:58 on the last day of the month to upload any challenge entries. A random winner will be chosen to receive a prize package from Stamp School!

Hello Everyone!  Rochelle here!  Please tell me that you’re on Pinterest.  If not, it’s a must do!  While looking for color pallette ideas for my new home, I ran across this photo.  It’s masculine, modern and chic all at the same time.  This photo translates into Pop Tone Hot Fudge, Tangy Orange and Sweet Tooth.

The perfect color pallete for Father’s Day!  Coupled with the Dad’s Tools and Men in my Life Stamp Sets…you’ve got a winning combination!

Hello! Samantha here to kick of another great week at stamp school.  Today, I have this fabulous color combination for you to try out:

Click here to see the original photo.

So, today’s colors are Snow Cone, Lemon Drop, and Wild Cherry.  I LOVE this perfectly pretty photo and color combination, but just to show you it can be done in a manly way, too, I created this Father’s Day card.

Good Monday everyone! Lisa here today. Today, I’m sharing an Art Room color scheme with you. I was looking for some interesting color combinations on our Pinterest board, and fell in love with these SHOES! Aren’t they so very pretty! Now, I have to tell you, I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing these, because I am pretty sure I’d end up with a broken ankle or leg if I tried to leave the house with something like these, but they sure are PRETTY!

My card today is for those Moms who like to golf. Usually when you see a golf cart on a card, it’s for a man…not today!

I started with my Razzleberry base, and cut a Grape Jelly card front to 4 x 5 1/4. Then I took my Dusty Concord Distress Markers to stamp my larger flower image from Flowers for Mom. You’ll see I stamped the second generation stamp to get a little shadow and depth to my flowers around the golf cart. I also took my Picket Fence Distress marker to get the white around some flower petals.

I stamped the golf cart from Dad’s Tools in the flowers directly on the card. Then I stamped it onto my Blue Raspberry cardstock and adhered the top and the cart to the card.

 Last, I used my Spellbinders Labels 22 die and traced it with my Dusty Concord marker. I stamped the sentiment in Black Licorice ink. The sentiment is from Women in My Life.

I hope this gives you an idea to take those typical manly images and maybe girly them up!

Hi everyone!  Rochelle here.  Today, I’m sharing an Art Room color scheme with you.  When I came across this unconventional color story for a nursery, I knew I had to use it for my next Art Room challenge!  The colors wouldn’t normally be paired and that’s why I think it’s so interesting.  The colors are Grape Jelly, Banana Split and Wild Cherry.

Flowers for Mom and Women in my Life are perfect for these colors.  I popped some of the blossoms up with foam squares to add depth to my clean and simple design. I also randomly stamped the vines to make them seem like they were intertwined.  The finish product is one Springy creation!  I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Hi everyone!  Amber here from The Country Scrapper to teach this week’s Art Room.  I’ve picked a Springy picture and beautiful colors that I hope inspire you to craft away!  This week’s colors are Bubblegum, Razzleberry, and Gum Drop Green.

I’ve also created a card to go along with the challenge, take a look:

For my card, I decided to make a custom background using the Flowers For Mom Stamp Set from Stamp School.  I started by randomly stamping leaves then went back and added flowers in.  I embellished with a bow, doily with my sentiment and a stick pin.

Hi everyone Vicki here again this Monday. Today is Art Room and I chose the colors based off this inspiration:

The colors this week — white, any pinks, any greens

Here is my card

Cut out 2 circles – 1 large and 1 2x smaller – using the die in between these 2 sizes, cut out the center of the large circle to get the frame effect. Be sure to emboss also for more frame effect.

I used a die cut to cut out my felt flowers and rolled them. I used the “Sister” from Women in my Life. I also used a fence die.

This really is a very easy card to make. I have linked the supplies I used below.

Okay — this is a Color Challenge and there is a prize involved – you can use ANY supplies you want (not limited to SS products) as long as you have the colors.

I hope you take the time to play! This challenge is a challenge to get players!! :)

Thanks for stopping by~

Hello! Samantha here with you in the Art Room today. I was pretty excited about the many beautiful shades of green being released this month by Stamp School. I absolutely love green and brown together, so for today’s color challenge I chose this lovely green and brown inspiration.

You can find the original photo here.

Stamp School released 4 gorgeous greens this month, and any of them combined with Hot Fudge (brown) will do for this challenge. I chose Sour Apple and Hot Fudge for my card.

 

I used the medallion stamp from Graduates to create a stamped background to use as a focal point for my card. Doing so was simple.

 

I took a piece of Sweet Tooth Card Stock, the medallion stamp from Graduates, and 2 colors of ink (in this case Hot Fudge and Sour Apple).

 

Choose somewhere (anywhere) to start stamping on your card stock, and stamp the medallion once in your first color (here I used Sour Apple).

Switch to your second color (here I used Hot Fudge). Stamp the medallion in the second color, overlapping the corner of the Hot Fudge medallion with the corner of the Sour Apple medallion. Repeat this step on all available corners of the Green Apple Medallion.

Continue the previous step switching back and forth between your 2 colors until your entire piece of card stock is covered in the pattern.  Then use your paper as a background or focal point on a card.

We’re adding a submission form below this post for you to show us your own Green and Brown creation. Make up your card and post it on your blog (with a link to our blog of course *wink*). Submit your card by adding it below. Make sure to post it to the actual blog post and not just your general blog address. You have until 11:58 on the last day of the month to upload any challenge entries. Your creations do not have to include Stamp School stamps in order to be entered, but we do LOVE to see what you’re creating with Stamp School products.

Hi all!  Amber here from The Country Scrapper to teach this week’s Art Room.  I just love the new Graduates Stamp Set from Stamp School and couldn’t resist using my High School colors for this week’s challenge.

This week we are using the colors Black Licorice, Wild Cherry, and Whip Cream.  Here is my card:

I did a little paper piecing to make my graduate look perfect.  I stamped her feet directly on the cardstock.  Then stamped the graduation gown and her face separately and cut each out.  I then used a pop up glue dot behind her face to add dimenstion.  I also embossed my cardsdtock and lightly inked the embossing.  This is one of my favorite techniques!  I also love adding “banners” to my cards – simply cut a strip of cardstock and add a  “V” shape to one side, it makes a perfect spot for your sentiment.  I also added a little shine to my card by using Stickles on the diploma, sash, and tassel.

Hi, Vicki here, with my first Art Room challenge.  The Art Room is fun with the gorgeous ink colors that Stamp School has available!

The colors  I chose for this color challenge is AQUA (blue raspberry), BROWN (hot fudge) and WHITE (sweet tooth).  [I love that the names of our products are the same with ink, papers and felt!  Makes it so easy to order!]  No worries if you don’t have “our” colors, simply use what you have!

Here is my finished card.

 

I made a template to cover the front of my card, stamped the white image and embossed it, and then I sponged on my colors. Once I liked the depth of color, I stamped my other images.  Taking a paper towel, I wiped off the ink from my embossed image to make it pop.

I hope you play in my color challenge.  Just upload your completed project with the inlinkz system below.
