GC120: Color Challenge - Turquoise, Blue and Purple

We are nearing the end of our fabulous month on Friendship, so we are giving you a color palette to play with that includes some of the elements of friendship. Turquoise which represents open communication and clarity of thought. Blue signifies strength and depth. Finally, purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, and creativity. So time to play with these three amazing colors:

Have fun with this great color combination. Each color has so many different shades, you could go bold and bright, shabby chic, soft and subtle or marvelous and modern!

We would like to thank Viva Las Vegastamps for their generous sponsorship throughout this month!

One randomly drawn winner from the qualifying participants for this challenge will become our new Home Page Artist for a week as well as winning this lovely and versatile set of flower stamps from Viva Las Vegastamps. To see one of the wonderful uses for this stamp set, check the video tutorial by Teri Sproul.

When the challenge closes on October 23, 2011, we will pick 10 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.
