What awesome colors!! I took a nap so I could wake up and do the challenge and still be okay at work tomorrow. I thought I would highlight Rich Razzleberry but when the time came, I did the other two colors more.....So Saffron is a color I have ignored but now, for me, it will be the new apricot!! It's actually quite beautiful!! And this is my new fixation - wide striped ribbon which I thought I would never like until SU sent me some for a project I did for them and wow- it makes the most beautiful bows....and I am also slightly fixated on this new texture plate from them.....my new kick. Anyway - what fun colors!! Hope you like it, and now I hope I can go back to sleep after my nap!! Happy Tuesday everyone!! (Anyone wanting to see a tutorial on Black Magic, it's on my blog at www.karenbarberstamps.blogspot.com but you have to go to the very bottom, click on older posts and then to down an entry or two or three.....)

How did you finish something this fabulous so quickly?! Great job with the colors, Karen. Your basketweave texture is fantastic and the ribbon is perfect.

This is amazing, Karen! Love how the flowers pop off of the black in those colors...what a cool way to feature them! The texture plate is gorgeous framing them, and that striped ribbon IS perfect! I can see why all of these goodies are some of your faves now!
