MovieStar Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Iris Here is my layout for the color challenge. I was inspired by a beautiful photo my dad took of an Iris. This week I want you to get your inspiration from nature. Pick a photo of flowers, a beautiful sunset, a willow tree...you get the idea, and then use colors from the photo to create your layout. I will admit that this one was really challenging for me. I do not usually scrap is such bold colors. While it sounds pretty simple to use the colors from your photo, I want you to challenge yourself to find a photo that will make you use colors outside of your comfort zone. Post your layouts here and have fun! Post a link back here so we can give you some love. p.s. It is 1am here in Virginia. That is how far out of my comfort zone I went! LOL I figured I may as well post this now so maybe I can sleep in tomorrow...if Madison lets me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trishy Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Spring 2007 Here is my addition, this is the first time that I have managed to contribute to the challenge! The only reason I was able to so easily is because Shalae's beautiful Renew collection had the colors from my picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRS Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Thanks for the challenge Elizabeth! I've noticed that I don't usually use yellow in my layouts, so this was a challenge to use it here with the roses. Flagg Family Rose Bush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnBK Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Here's mine...a photo that I've been working on for some time, just never seemed to be satisfied with the results. http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/index.ph...i&img=21051 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firecracker55 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Another LO using macro photos my son took! I love these little flowers and look forward to their arrival each spring. They are courtesy of the wonderful gardener who resided in this home many years ago. I do not know their name. I never pick them because they are so tiny but I love the blue and find myself walking over to take a peek and enjoy the wonder!

Zaz Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Okay, so I probably went a bit overboard, but I had fun. I'm home with what seems to be bronchitis, so I actually had time to do a challenge (this is a first). Hope I got the spirit of it anyway. If brights are hard on your eyes, put your sunglasses on before looking at this. I LOVE greens. Thanks for letting me play here! ~Zaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil's Nana Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Oh Elizabeth, your iris LO is just beautiful! Those are my colors and I love using them. To challenge myself I will have to use the one color I usually avoid. Hm-m-m-m... Okay I am back with my LO. I never use white and I always use lots of "stuff" to fill the space. This one is really out of my comfort zone~~white, and pretty empty. Don't know if I like it. CCs gratefully appreciated. http://scrapgirls.com.ipbhost.com/index.ph...i&img=21226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
