Color Challenge Inspiration

I have three color challenge cards to share today, and all were created using my October Studio Calico kit, so you'll see some similarities in the colors.  

The first card was inspired by the colors in the Color Throwdown Challenge #318 (the color palette is posted further below with my supply list).  For this one, I used the sketch (also below) from this week's Mojo Monday. 

The darker blue color is hard to see in the photo . . . it is the inking of the paper and the blue script in the pattern paper. 

The second card is very similar to the first, but has a slightly different color variation which is from this week's Colour Me Challenge (palette is posted below).

 Similar paper and stamps, with a few different elements.  I love the wood veneer heart and the "hello" tile from the kit! 

And then finally, my third card was inspired by the colors in the Colour Q Challenge.  This one had a very deep orange/red shade (Dusty Durango) which allowed me to use the apple stamp that was in the kit.  Since I didn't have Dusty Durango ink, I used the closest thing to it . . . Tangerine Tango.  My apple looks a little on the orange side, but I think it still looks like an apple. 

I was back and forth on whether I should put the sentiment in the apple, create another element such as a banner or a circle, but in the end decided the sentiment on that pattern paper would be the best option.  Once I placed that little veneer heart on the apple, it all came together! 

One kit . . . four challenges . . . three cards!  I hope you find some time to create.
