This card took on a life of its own! I need a Thank You today. I saw the colors for the challenge, and while I won't miss these in-colors, I like them together - I saw a bright SUMMER day.
But...I have a goal to use all of my SU sets in 2010 - so I paged through my Thank You stamps - and out popped this quail image. I think quail images might be "in" again because SU has a new set in their catalog. And I thought quail were quite colorful - so I googled and sure enough - they are EXACTLY curry and durango - many of them also have a lot of blue (although not quite Bermuda!)
So now I have a card that I love - but I'm going to set it aside for the fall and will have to try again for the thank you that I need today!

Set 126 for my 2010 goal of making sure that all of my SU sets see ink.

Love the way your embossing extends onto both of the bg panels. Great card - don't have these colours in my stash so won't be attempting this challenge! Great job on inking up all your SU sets! I should take a page from your book!

Using the brown was a smart idea to tone down these 'in your face' colors - lol! Love that textured BG! I'm another person that won't miss this year's in colors.
