Thursday CCMC250 Color Challenge

It's Thursday already and time for a new challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have a great color challenge to work with.





This color combo is one I haven't used before.  I don't use Basic Grey often, so this was a fun challenge for me.  I ended up with this card.

I wasn't sure where to start at first, but once I got started the card just flowed.  I decided on a banner card so Hearts A Flutter was my first thought.  I stamped off once before stamping each of the banners then die cut them with the matching framelit.   Lots of texture with embossing folders on the base CS and large Cameo Coral banner.  Then it was just a layering process.  I added the doily folded in half to the large banner first.  Then the die cut banners were added in.  The top of that set of banners looked like something was missing so I added a piece of Pool Party CS that was embossed with the scalloped embossing folder from Needlepoint Border in the Spring Catalog.  I just cut along the top and bottom of the embossing and adhered it to the top of the banner.  I kept on going by adding pearls to the scallops.  The greeting came from the new A Round Array stamp set stamped in Basic Grey.  A couple flowers on the side and the card was done!

I really love this color combo and how the card turned out!  I hope you will challenge yourself too and join us at Create with Connie and Mary CCMC250 this week.  Hop over to their blog for more details and to link up your card.

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!
