KW Challenge #43 -- Bold Colors!

Another color challenge was posted over at Kristina Werner's blog.  My first thought was that these were some powerful bold colors!  How to use them???

 

Then, I looked at the patterns in the photo, and noticed the stripes, circles and argyle which inspired me.  So, here is what I came up with.  I made the first one at my friend Tiffany's house this morning, and the other 3 when I got home this afternoon.  I had a hard time getting going at Tiff's, but once I started working with this combo I kept getting more ideas!  I just needed some of my supplies at home to finish them.  This first one gave me a chance to use the new SU set Man's Best Friend.  I think the doggy on the left looks a lot like my Monty (see the first blog post for yourself!).

I got the inspiration for this simple card from one of my many idea books...yes, I'm an idea book junkie!  Anyway, it's very simple but I really like how it turned out.

When I saw the argyle, I thought of this stamp set.  A few markers later, and I had myself some argyle!  I think I may have my Father's Day card already done for the year.  ;-)

Well, the ground-hog was right, at least for those of us in northern Illinois.  It is frigid today.  The wind chills must be pretty low.  I did take Monty for a short trip to the off-leash park to drain some of his energy.  Anyway, the cold made me want to use this new set I just received from  Papertrey Ink called Warm Happiness.  I'm liking this set, which means you'll see more of it soon.  ;-)
