Spellbinders NEW LAUNCH DIY Color Deck, Day 1 Inspiration

 Hi crafty friends! Spellbinders has launched a fun new color inspiration system called the DIY Color Deck. From the website: Make color your own with the new DIY Color Deck! Designed to inspire creativity, each of the 52 cards in the DIY Color Deck includes an image of a stunning art piece with 5 blank spaces for swatching custom color combinations. The other side of the cards feature fun facts, creative prompts and bonus education about color theory.

 

I enjoyed working with these cards WAY MORE than I expected. I had a lot of fun choosing cards to work with and picking out the colors for my swatches. Most of the photos have more than 5 colors to work with, giving them a lot of options. Here is today's inspiration! Scroll down for supplies used.

 I was drawn to the crisp colors in this fruit bowl image. And I love how the photo prompted a color combination I would have never picked on my own. The colors I chose were Tuscan, Teal Topaz, Poppy, Fern and Raven.

The DIY Color Deck Builder Bundle is the DIY Color Deck, 1" square punch and the 8.5x11.5" Full Colorwheel cardstock assortment. You can also purchase each of these on their own. Here's a look at the system.

So what do you think? Do you like this concept? I think there is something to be said for having the actual photo in hand as a reference when choosing colors. Over the next few days I'll be sharing more inspiration so stay tuned!
