Color is everywhere. From the moment we wake, and quite possibly even when we dream, we are surrounded by an infinite number of hues and their complex degrees of shadow and light. The inspiration is found by organizing moxie fab colors together and then having fun designing around them. For example, at the time of this writing, the current Kwernerdesign color challenge gains inspiration from this photo:
While Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge is focusing on a brown, aqua, and pink color combo:
We paper crafters aren't the only ones looking for challenges in color. Here are the top three winning entries of a single color challenge on a photography site I ran across called Digital Photography Review:
Madrid in Orange by Daniel Ichilov
Ready for more inspiration? These sites host weekly color challenges:
Cornish Heritage Farms Message Board
You know what's next, right? A moxie fab color challenge of our own! Let's jump into the season and get all citrus-y!
Mmm. Yum. I saw this grouping of pillows in my latest Pottery Barn catalog, and I'm not going to lie, it inspired this entire blog post! (Even us inspiration gatherers need our inspiration!)Your task? Create a paper crafted project of your choosing that uses these three colors. You can add white if you'd like but it's not a requirement. Upload your project to the Moxie Fab World Citrus Color Challenge on Flickr by midnight MST on Monday, June 1 and I'll not only put the winning entries on my June 3 blog post, but I'll also send you some moxie fab stuff as well! Wootie-wootie-woot-woot-woot!
Inviting you to color my world,
~Cath

Such a soft yet interesting color combination...I've already started on my project! I just love the continuing motivation!
How fun - I am going to do this one today! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
I love color challenges. Could you please specify what the three colors are exactly? Thanks!
ok, I got to play along! Hope I did that right, I haven't used flicker before
Cool!! I love the color challenges! Thanks for coming up with a *Moxie* one!
Great colors! Is black allowed? (Sorry, am a little new and have never done a color challenge before.) Thanks!
Hi Friends,
I don't have names for the colors, I just matched them to the colors in the photo. But we could call them mustard, olive, and dusty olive. Does that work?
And you can add white, but that's the only other neutral for this particular scheme.
Thanks for the tip about the GinaK Color Throw Down, keep the questions coming if you have them, and by all means, have fun!
Here's mine, just got it uploaded too!!

I thought that an old time image would look just right stamped on the goldenrod colored paper.
Here is mine (I uploaded to Flickr too)

Just a quick reminder, ladies. Make sure that you upload your project to the Flickr group for it to be considered as a winner.
Thanks,
