10th Anniversary Challenge | Color

For even more 10th Anniversary fun, we've rounded up ten of our favorite past blog challenges. We've asked our current Creative Team to share their take on these fun challenges, and we hope you'll play along too!

In this weekly challenge from 2013, Susan Weinroth and Ashley Cannon Newell issued a color challenge to use the following colors on a project: red, pink, aqua, and kraft. They shared their inspiring takes on the challenge.

Susan used all the colors on a bold layout with a black and white photo.

Ashley created a sweet and colorful card.

And here's Creative Team member Kelly Noel's take on this past challenge:

It was so much fun tackling an old challenge and giving it new life! I was so inspired by this color challenge originally given by Susan and Ashley. Pink, aqua, kraft, and red—it's such a fun color combination! I knew I wanted to start with this "See the Beauty" paper from the "Alfresco" Scrapbook Kit. It's such a great page starter—a background and a title all in one! I dug through my stash and couldn't find much aqua that I wanted to use so I used just a small strip down the left side and then a piece of dark aqua washi underneath my photo.

I added pops of red in the wood veneer pieces and a few sequins as well as the strip of striped red/white paper down the right side. I'm pretty much strictly a white or patterned background fan, so instead of incorporating kraft paper, the kraft-ish pops come from the wood veneer pieces as well.

I hope you'll share your take on this color challenge—I can't wait to see what you make!

Let's see how you use these colors for a chance to win a $10 GC to the Studio Calico shop! When you complete this challenge, upload it to the member gallery and leave a link to your project in the comments below. See all of our 10th Anniversary challenges here.
