How do you decide on your colours

Yet another thing I love with Stampin' Up! is they have a Colour Coach. How many of you stand in front of your stash of card and can't decide on what colours to put together? Yep that used to be me, then  I invested in the Colour Coach.

It is such a great tool and I don't think we take advantage of it enough. I decided to challenge myself today and try and put together the same card design using the Colour Coach and use card colours that I seem to overlook. Here is what I came up with.

Always Artichoke and Cajun Craze

Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry

Rose Red and Marina Mist

Pink Pirouette and Crumb Cake

More little gals

Having a bit of a creative urge at the moment so have made a few quirky cards. It's quite weird when I get in the "zone" the entire room goes quiet and I can't hear a thing. I think this is part of working on the right side of our brain. It is a great feeling, does anyone else ever zone out when they are creating?

The first little gal has hair made from the Heart to Heart punch. The next one I pleated her skirt with the Scoring board, Argggg very fiddly. The next one I made her overalls and then dropped ink on the waist so had to give her a skirt as well. I actually think she looks really trendy. A happy accident I say. The last one I was making a scallop waistband but it didn't look right so I ended up making it into hot pants. I love her boots.

Here they are completed.Sorry the images are a bit blurred as I had packaged them up before I took the photos.

Then I decided to change tack and make a little lady so here she is too. As you can see I was on a roll.  Not sure I am happy with her but one of the family will appreciate her.
