The fun continues in our FIFTH of SIX color challenges here in the Moxie Fab World. Today we tackle the monochromatic section with this delicious color palette:
That's right! It's pink on pink on pink with these Bazzill Basics Paper equivalents: Bubblegum, Precious, and Pinkini.
For inspiration, check out these lovelies from the issue itself:
Too Kind Card by Windy Robinson, p. 135
A Friend Always Card by Julia Stainton, p. 135
Aren't these just delicious, friends? I can't wait to see what yummies you create with this supah fun combination. Here are the details you'll need to chum up to the challenge:
- Create a paper crafted card that utilizes this exact color combination in an innovative way. You can use cardstock, ink, patterned paper, accents, embellishments, trims, etc.--just be sure that they match JUST these colors exactly (adding touches of one neutral such as white is OK.)
- Upload it to your blog, click on the title of that post, copy the URL, and add it to Mr. Linky below.
- Tell your readers that you've created your project for the Monochromatics Color Challenge for Color Inspiration for Card Makers Week in the Moxie Fab World and link it back to this post to encourage your readers to play along as well.
- If you don't have a blog, upload your project to this flickr gallery, copy the URL to your project, and add it to Mr. Linky below.
- Upload your projects by midnight EST on Monday, January 31.
- Two winning entries will be shown on this blog on Friday, February 4 and will receive an "I'm Moxie Fab" challenge winner button as well as a copy of this moxie fab issue.
- In addition, not only will I be selecting a total of twelve winners for these challenges, but the editors at Paper Crafts magazine will be using their discriminating eye to select one overall winner to receive...drum roll please...a Cricut, a Gyspy, and 7 cartridges. The winning card will also be published in the July/August 2011 issue of Paper Crafts magazine.
We've got one more challenge for Color Inspiration for Card Makers Week, so be sure and tune in tomorrow. In the meantime, click on over to Paper Crafts Connection where Kelly's got a moxie fun blog hop for you--with another a-m-a-z-i-n-g prize offering to boot!
Tickled pink,

Just had to say...love, love, love Windy's card. I think it just may be my favorite in the issue.
Wow, I'm first. That's some crazy stuff! Who can resist such pink-ness?
Big smiles here. Thank you all & thanks Cath for sharing my work this week:)
Outstanding cards! Loving the pink!
I'm a big fan of monochromatic schemes and this one is gorgeous, just love pinks.
This was hard as I am so not a pink kind of girl But I am very happy with the end result. Thanks for getting out of my comfort zone :)
the rose card was simply stunning!
Three down, three to go! :)
Thanks for another great challenge, Cath!
I love Windy's pink roses! A simple layout but a stunning effect.
So pretty. I love the chance to go all pink!
Great challenge for Valentine's day! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration :)
Windy's card is my favorite in the whole magazine (and they're are plenty of amazing ones!). Thanks for the fun challenge!
I love mono challenges! :) Mine is all linked up! Thanks. :)
I linked up. I purely enjoyed the monochromatic challenge, even thought monos are pretty hard for me, because I love so many colors. I enjoyed making this baby card thoUGH!
Pink I can do! :)
Thanks for the fun, Cath!
love this color combo. merci!
i realize that color challanges are very difficult for me. i look at MY colors before making a card...not someone else's! this brings a new challenge to the challenge for me!

Thanks for the fun monochromatic challenge. Love the cards.
God bless,

I love monochromatic combos .. thanks so much. My card is uploaded!
This was an interesting challenge..love that word "innovative". I went on a scavenger hunt to find the exact papers. I found a store with Bazzill chips that helped find exact matches including a beautiful BoBunny dot paper. Then I decided to create a card to hold a gift. Thanks for getting me inspired!
I'm having SO much fun with these!!
I love pink, but this was the most difficult of all the challenges!! BUT I persevered and am thrilled with what you inspired me to make :) thanks!!
This was tricky - I hope my pink isn't too bright! Thanks for pushing our creativity :)
I like monochromatics. I had to add a little green for the top of my strawberry--hope that was ok.
Can't go wrong with monochrome! It was fun to play along!
This colour combo reminds me of cotton candy :) Mmmm... Thanks for another great challenge.
I love the vintage feel of these colors. It makes me think of Old English roses so that's what I did!
Pink is not my color, but I'm glad you put me to the challenge
Love pink, so had to enter this one! Thanks for so much inspiration!
Great color challenge, Cath!
So glad I found the Moxie Fab challenges!! I hope I can play again sometime.
I'm all linked up Cath! Thanks for another great challenge.
