Favorite Inspiration: the May BBA Challenge

Sharla of BeadedTail came up with our May Challenge: Inspirations.  She writes, "Your challenge is to incorporate your favorite inspiration into a project of your choice."  I'm sure it's not a surprise that I'm frequently inspired my color.  I'll see neat color combinations anywhere...in a clothing store, in nature, etc., and I'll immediately start thinking about how I can incorporate them into art.

Most of you already know how much I love turquoise and red.  I also really love pink and green.  Pink is not one of my favorite colors, but I love it paired with green.  Here are a few ways that I've used this color combination in my jewelry making in the past.

For the most part, when I write craft articles, I pull ideas from lots of different sources.  I do use my own photos as I can, but I often use photos from others, too.  After I wrote my junk mail crafts article, I started thinking about other recycled papers to use for crafting.  I was in the middle of doing a big magazine purge and decided it was well time to create my own art for an article and to use my own photos exclusively in the article.  The pink and green color combination seemed like a good fit for graduation, Mother's Day, and spring cards.

Recycled Magazine Craft Project: Greeting Cards

I'm really happy with how both the cards and the article.  My recycled craft articles have done well so far.  Hopefully this one will, too.

Do you ever use the green and pink color combination in your crafting?  What are some of your favorite color combinations?
