Couldn't resist the title. I don't know why, but I have never really liked working with gray. Other people can make the most beautiful cards with it, but not me. I don't really like coral or cantaloupe either. Oops!!! I am making a negative comment. Why did I do the challenge?? I guess I had to prove to myself that something reasonable could be made. I didn't plan, think, or even spend much time on this. I threw the colors down as if to slay the gray. So there!! My confession is out. Please don't hate me. :>)

No guilt, Kim...we all have our favorites and not-so-favorites when it comes to colors. It is a BEAUTIFUL card and one would think that they are your FAVORITE colors. Love the shabby chic feeling.

Kudos to you for working these colors you don't particularly like. You did some pretty beautiful things with them. I love the collage background you created.

Good for you, for taking up the challenge! It's easy to make a card with colors you love; very difficult to make one if you don't care for the colors. You did a great job creating a card with a vintage feel. Well done!

You had to smile to yourself when you finished this card..Right? It really is quite stunning. I like how you mingled the gray along with the corals. Very pretty card. tfs

And what an awesome card came from not liking those colors!! You did a fantastic job!!! I miss you on the team so much! ;)
