Hello everyone! It is time for another trio of fabulous colors! Before I start with the colors I would love to introduce to you your next SCS CC Design Team! Please give a warm welcome to artystamper(Julia). Karen B. Barber, and pegmac71(Peggy)! As you can see the design team comes straight from the weekly participants! I know you have seen their familiar faces playing along in the color combo challenges each week!

Now, on to this week's trio of colors! I have chosen hues that can work for all occasions as well as Valentine's Day which is right around the corner.

CC307: Soft Elegant Rides!

Soft Suede

Elegant Eggplants

Riding Hood Red

Neutrals (ivory, white, or black)

Dessert Options: Layer unlikely die cuts or spellbinders to create some newer looks and options! Tell us the ones you chose so we might try it as well!

Here is my attempt at the color combo today:

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS?
I struggled with these colors all afternoon and I am still puzzled. I used a sketch by Sharon Reinhart that I saw in this month's Cardmaker magazine and I liked it very much. I wound up altering my version somewhat from hers but I made it work. Thanks for a real challenge today

[Beate]

Thanks for a great challenge, Betty! Anything with purple is always a challenge for me.

The life we create...

[TrishG]

What a great color combination. It sure was a great challenge. I would have never attempted this combo otherwise! Off to see the gallery...

[bon2stamp]

Thanks Betty!

Here's my Bliss

[artystamper]

A little late to the welcoming party - I'm excited to join my pals on the Color Challenge DT for the next few months! what a responsibility to pick colors 1) that haven't been chosen yet and 2) that people will want to create with!!! thanks for the warm welcome ladies!!

[lutheran]

This challenge was way too hard! Hubby will like the purple heart. Layered textures from texture plate, letterpress plate and distressed cs for my "dessert."

here's my card for today's challenge. I hit the enter key instead of the tab key. For my card I used the square punch, I used riding hood red, elegant eggplant and soft suede ink. Thanks for looking. 000_0273_by_luvs2stamp2 by luvs2stamp2 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[JMumStamps]

Love this combo! Here's my first try at it. I layered the Inverted and Classic Scallop Circle Nesties for the image panel. I like how it gives a border, but I think it needs some pearls or bling or something...
I have other ideas, just need time to get them out of my head and into a card
