Edited to add: Bahb asked to see a pic of my little guy. How about a short video instead? Here’s the kid singing “A Well Respected Man” by The Kinks. Yeah, I have no shame
Where do you get your inspiration? I get mine from all kinds of places - magazines, clothing, home decor items, other talented card-makers of course – and sometimes, from stuff around the house.
I’ve got an adorable little boy. No, really, he is adorable. Also, a genius, but I digress. Heh.
Because I have a little one, our fridge looks like this:
And that up there, inspired me to come up with this:
Stuff I used to make my card:
Card stock: PTI
Stamps: Hero Arts
Ink: Color Box pigment ink – Orchid, Cyan, Lime, Cranberry, Midnight and Orange
Embossing powder: Stampendous – clear
Other: corner rounder punch, Copic marker for highlighting the space between the freezer and fridge, Sakura silver glaze pen
OLW28
Your challenge this week is to use at least five (5) (FIVE!) different colours of ink on your one-layer card. You may use black and white in addition to your five (5) (FIVE!) colours but don’t count them as part of your five (5) (FIVE!) colours. Clear as mud? Good!
1. A one-layer card is defined as a single piece of card stock folded in half.
2. Make a one-layer card using at least five (5) (FIVE!) different ink colours. Your card may be any theme.
3. Please share your creation by posting your card online and then using Inlinkz below to link to it.
4. Please make sure you are linking directly to the relevant post – not just to your blog.
5. Most important of all…HAVE FUN!
You have until next Tuesday at 11:59 pm EDT to submit your creations. Imaginary bonus points if you post a picture of your fridge.
Because I’m funny like that.

This was an awesome challenge Jennifer! It was so much fun to put into practise an idea I’d had floating around in my head for the last while. I think it turned out great! Thanks so very much!

What a cute idea but I must say it was a challenge to get so many colors on a one layer card. So far there’s some awesome cards posted here! Can’t wait to see what the rest come up with.
What a fun, fun challenge, Jennifer! Can’t wait to play along this weekend. What a crazy week I’m having!

difficult challenge

So how about a photo of your beautiful genius?
What a super-clever Challenge. I love the way you made your card into a fridge door.
I’m lucky enough to have had inspiration instantly. But the execution of the inspiration might not go as smoothly. We’ll see!
Hi Jennifer – thanks for your comment on my card. This was such a fun challenge – I love lots of colours!! And there are some beautiful cards in the collection already.
Most of my inspiration comes from sketches or what other card makers have shared. I admire you for sharing your time and talent to keep the challenges going and keep us inspired.

Oh no, I don’t get to see the Adorable Genius. My satellite connection is too slow for videos and my computer doesn’t have sound, so Stamp TV and YouTube are useless to me too.
I love your fridge card, I don’t have letters on my fridge any more and I miss them. We used to write “interesting” messages with them.
(by the way the mitten stamp on my card is from an old SU set Holiday Sampler, probably ebay is your best bet!)
That card is too stinkin’ cute! Those of us who have had children have ALL had refrigerators that look like this! FUN!
Terrific challenge! Love your card!
Wow that took some thinking about getting 5 colours onto one layer! Thank you gor the opportunity to enter
