I'm your hostess in the Color Challenge this week. I picked colors that are bright and cheerful, with a slightly masculine vibe, because I have a dear friend who is scheduled for some major surgery this week, and I plan to bombard him with cards during a very long recovery period. The colors are Cherry Cobbler, Pacific Point, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay. The dessert option is "masculine."
It's also our last time to feature Pacific Point and Bermuda Bay in the Color Challenge, as these are two of several colors that are retiring.
I used my "Create In Quads" Surprise Party stencils from Taylored Expressions this week. These stencils feature four different designs per sheet of cardstock, and there are four coordinating stencils in the set (hence four colors this week!). When you're done stenciling, you cut the sheet into four sections, and you have four color-coordinated card fronts!
I'm thinking this card will be sent when my friend comes home from the hospital. It will be a cause for celebration, for sure!
Please check my gallery to see the other three cards!
And please join us in the Color Challenge this week. You know you need some guy cards!
