GC80: Color Challenge - Vintage Hues

Welcome to a new Color Challenge on Gingersnap Creations. With our focus on fabric and stitching this month, we were inspired to create with the colors found in vintage fabrics. We challenge you to use

Vintage Hues

Use soft and muted colors, lots of neutrals with shades of brown and sepia in your creations.

When the challenge closes on December 19, 2010 we will pick 7 Ginger Gems - fabulous creations that we feel really exemplify that challenge's objective. The Ginger Gems will appear in our wrap-up post and in a slide show in the blog bar for an entire week and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge. In addition, we will pick one random winner, whose work will be featured on the Yahoo Group homepage and in the blog's sidebar.

For your chance to be eligible as a Ginger Gem or as a Home Page Artist, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using vintage colors;

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a DIRECT link to your creation or use the linky application below. Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!
