My Perfect Palette: Week 3

Alright, ya’ll, I know I told you I had 2 palettes to share with you this week, but I decided to alter and consolidate them into one palette! With all the Fall hype going on, I wanted to do something whimsical and fun…so I wouldn’t get bored with Fall before it even got here! Not to mention, I’ve been working pretty hard on some gorgeously elegant black and white wedding correspondence for a custom order, so the bright cheerfulness of this palette was a refreshing change!

Unfortunately, I’ve been so busy with custom wedding correspondence that I haven’t been able to finish the pieces that I’ve been working on …but next weekend I will do a Part II from this week as well as a new palette! And I have some good things in store to talk to you about this week, so stay posted!

Moving forward, here are a few of my UWIB faves in this week’s palette….


I am just in love with the gorgeous, rich gray of this necklace by Erin Keys over at Femme Petal!


I am a huge fan of Lori at Dirt Road South and love the rich green of these bobbies!


And this shea butter cupcake from Cozy Moments looks delectable enough to eat!

Last, but of course not least, how gorgeous is this green clip from Ticklebean?

These colors just all look so gorgeous and whimsical together! Such a refresher for the end of summer! I hope ya’ll enjoy these items just as much as I do! Check back in next week for my favorite colors and items of the moment!

My Perfect Palette: Week 2

I have to say that as the week went on this past week, I began doubting what I said last week about my favorite color palette changing so often. I kept going back to the browns and oranges and greens that I had posted last week. BUT, my taste didn’t fail me! Come Friday and Saturday I began working on some new items and noticed that my color palette I was working with slowly started to morph into the colors you see to the left. I think it is a great, refreshing Fall palette. The navy blue is a nice change from black, and the bright grass green is a good transition color. The curry and champagne are good accent colors to use!

Here are a couple of new items I created that incorporate these colors. They are slightly different, so you can get an idea of the customization that can be done, but they can be designed as a set so you get matching thank you cards with your wedding invitations and correspondence!


And below are a few items I am absolutely loving from my fellow UWIBs and Sassy Sisters that incorporate my color palette of the moment!


What a refreshing landscape painting from WabiBrookStudio!

And how can you not fall in love with these adorable cupcake toppers from Joosy Card Co.?


What a gorgeous necklace from The Beaded Branch! I am loving the shades of blue in this selection.

And last, but certainly not least, what a gorgeous Fall necklace from Femme Petal!

I hope ya’ll enjoy this week’s color palette! Who knows what will be my favorite next week!

My Perfect Palette: Week 1

I enjoy working with color variety…a lot. In fact, I enjoy working with color so much that my taste in the colors I use in my designs changes so often I can barely keep up with it! So, I thought it would only be logical to show ya’ll my perfect color palette of the moment! This palette will feature items I am working on, items I am loving, and give you a sneak peek into the colors you can see in my designs in the next few days. For my very first Perfect Palette feature, I have been really into these gorgeous rich colors that are a great transition from the hot August days to the cool Fall mornings. My favorite thing about using these colors is that they are so versatile. You can play up the orange and curry colors for summer, or the sage and chocolate for Fall. Such a great combination!

Here is a wedding invitation design I worked on this weekend that incorporates the sage and chocolate:

And here, you’ll see some lovely features from my fellow UWIB ladies!



I just love this Cinnabar butterfly and buffalo stone necklace by PolishedTwo! A great transitional piece from summer to fall.

What a gorgeous Modern Landscape painting from Kristen Stein Fine Art! Another perfect transitional piece.


And how can you not love this sweet Harvest the Corn Illustration Print by Tamara Garvey? I could see this fitting beautifully in my kitchen!

I am just loving these gorgeous, rich transitional colors, but what will next week’s perfect palette be? Will it be something completely different or a similar version of this week’s palette? Hmm…we’ll have to wait and see!

I hope ya’ll have a fabulous Sunday!

xoxo
