color inspiration thursday...

3.14.2013
Time for another edition of Color Inspiration Thursday! This is really one of my favorite times of the week...I am soooo enjoying creating layouts using magazine ads as my inspiration...it's so much fun for me!

Today's photo comes from the January/February issue of Click magazine...have you seen this magazine yet? It's absolutely gorgeous...and it's packed with tons of information.

And here's the photo...oh my gosh...I just adore this...


This photo was taken by Shannon Sewell...you really must check out some of her work...it's absolutely beautiful...

And here is the layout I created...


I really loved the black, white and red of the chicken (OK..how cool is that?) mixed with the pinks, purples & yellows...these are colors I would NEVER have thought to work with together, but they look really neat...


Because I wasn't using tons of each color (like in the photo), I wanted to busy up the layout a little, so I added a bunch of different patterns...I love they way they look together...there's a lot going on - but not so much that you get distracted from the photo...


I challenge you...take a photo or ad and let it inspire you to create...I would love to see what you come up with! Tag me @MidwesternGirl5 with the hashtag #cit with your projects!
