Color Challenge Blog Post – Bright & Earthy Harmony MFT WCC #4

Hello, crafty friends!

It’s time for a fresh color challenge, and this palette is such a fun mix of cheerful and grounded tones! This week, we’re working with a vibrant combination of sunny yellow, soft periwinkle blue, cool teal, and warm terracotta brown. It’s a beautiful balance of bright and earthy shades that can take your projects in so many creative directions.

But before we get too far into new inspiration, let's all congratulate Graciela Valdez for her adorable card using last week's sketch. Isn't this precious?

I love how versatile this week's palette is. You could go bold and graphic, soft and floral, or even lean into a more modern, geometric design. Whether you’re ink blending, layering cardstock, or using patterned papers, these colors really play well together.

A few ideas to get you started:

• Create a bright floral card using the yellow and teal as your main hues
• Use the periwinkle as a soft background wash
• Add terracotta accents for depth and contrast
• Try color blocking for a clean and modern look

Of course, the best part of the weekly challenge is always seeing what the amazing DT has created, so without further adieu, let's do it!

I love them all! I also hope you'll stop by each DT Member's links and leave them some love. We both know how long it takes to make a handmade card, right? They are, IMO, dang near always worth more than the gift! Has anyone else asked someone for a card back if they ever decided to part with it? 🖐 Yep, guilty as charged.

I can’t wait to see how you interpret these colors! Be sure to link up your creations and share your inspiration with the community. Your take on this palette might spark someone else’s next great idea! Make sure to tag #mftchallenges and #mftcardchallenges so you'll help create a one-spot-stop for all the inspiration you could ever need, all in the same place. :-)

Happy crafting!
