We haven’t done a Color Inspiration challenge in a while so let this fun color palette inspire some end of summer creativity! That cute flamingo float is pretty inspiring too!

You are invited to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the end of this post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies, stencils and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, August 18 at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry to receive a $50.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! Everyone who enters a challenge has a chance to be the random drawing winner! Woohoo!

We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges, you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN, so we’ll keep the rules to just a few!

Design Team Inspiration

This cool color palette looks so amazing on Mimi‘s fantastic Build-A-Drink and Build-A-Drink Cocktail Add-On card! She created the pretty background with Tropical Leaves Backdrop, inked up with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink. Then she added a perfectly appropriate sentiment with Henry’s ABCs!

Christy created a summery card featuring the Color Inspiration colors. She was also inspired by the flamingo to add a pair from Flamingo Together. Additional sets she used are Ahoy Matey, Swan Soirée, Toucan Do It, You Are Sublime, Critters from the Past and a sentiment from Reveal Wheel Sentiments.

Joyce‘s Treat Cart design is so cute! I love that she swapped the Treat Cart critters for the charming skunks from Scent with Love! The happy colors of the inspiration palette are perfect on the treat cart and ice cream.

Samantha crafted a unique friendship card using Corner Rainbow Stencils and Heart Shaker Gift Tag! She white embossed a sentiment from Happy Hugs on a Stitched Sentiment Banner and added “bff” to the heart pieces with Harold’s ABCs.

Franci‘s cool “let it snow” card uses the Color Inspiration to set a frosty scene for our Build-A-Snowman! She added some Stitched Snowflakes and a wintry sentiment from Snowy Backdrops.

Samantha‘s sweet baby welcome card features Swan Soirée and Secret Garden Window with a pond from Bayou Backdrop. She used papers from Watercolor Wishes and Rainbow Ever After to bring in the inspiration colors.

Catherine‘s design is a celebration on a card! She combined Let’s Celebrate Backdrop and Giant Hooray to create a fun shaker card! Year Seven and Tiny Birthday Friends look great in soft versions of the color inspiration.

Karin used the color palette to create a pretty card to accompany a gift! She made the heart shape with Lacy Heart Stackables and Outside In Stitched Heart Stackables. She inked up the stitched heart in the dark teal color. Then she added Scripty For You and flower/leaves from Magic Iris Floral Wreath Add-On.

We will have more Design Team inspiration for the Color Inspiration challenge over the next 2 weeks! Be sure to come back tomorrow when we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 177 – Christmas in July!
