Colour inspiration board

In this colour inspiration board I used the following tools and techniques in the SampleBoard Creator.

  1. Print-quality portrait canvas size
  2. “Pinter Etsy” style template
  3. Built-in search the web keyword search “pastels” to find pastel-inspired images
  4. Create a color palette by searching pastel swatches
  5. Shape tool to create the circle
  6. Text tool to annotate your design

I literally created this board in less than 5 minutes, exported it to my computer and uploaded it into WordPress! give it go yourself at www.sampleboard.com.

Happy creating : )
