Color inspiration can come from anywhere – las week I took a picture of a lovely sunrise! I am blessed to live in my forever dream home – we moved to the lake 2 years ago after designing and remodeling a lakefront property that we purchased a year before that. We live on the western shore of Conneaut Lake and have gorgeous sunrises often.
I have MANY MANY pictures of different sunrises and this one became the inspiration for today’s More Color Monday Color Challenge.
Every week I look for colors around me to inspire Monday’s projects and to inspire you to create with more color combinations – sometimes taking us out of our usual and familiar!

Stamp the cloud image in Balmy Blue in a random pattern leaving space for more clouds in and Misty Moonlight color as well.

Stamp the sailboat in Misty Moonlight in the foreground in front of the sun image.
Die cut a circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies, and use a Balmy Blue and flirty Flamingo strip for the sentiment piece. Stamp the sentiment word in the circle in Misty Moonlight ink and the companion saying on the Balmy Blue strip. Adhere the strips under the circle die and cut the left edge at an angle for added visual interest.
Adhere the Basic White layer to the Misty Moonlight layer but instead of centering the layers I added them left justified for something a little different! It is amazing how just that small change makes the card look entirely different!
Continue to add the Flirty Flamingo layer justifying the layers so the left hand edges match.
