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!

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!

This was definitely a challenge for me! Here is my Thank You card.

These were a challenge...Love the final look though

You're Grrrreat

Ok, Betty, I thought you were CRAZY when I saw this week's combo...but I have to admit, I really like how this turned out. I almost cheated and added some green, but I was a good girl ;) Thanks for the challenge! Here's my card:

Thank You

Congrats to the new design team.............they are all fantastic !!!
Back in a bit with my card.

You girls did a GREAT job! this one was very hard for me!!! Here's mine:PURSES

Thanks for the fun challenge and welcome to the new team!

Here's mine: Heartstrings

Pretty color combo. I went with the valentine theme with this valentine for a friend. Welcome and good job to the new design team.

Those colors look great together w/what I saw in the gallery! Im not an SU person, so I'll come as close as I can.

Thanks for the fun and challenging colors! I like them.

Thanks for the challenge, Betty! Love the layered diecuts idea! Here's mine.

CC307 Life in Suede by suen - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

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 :)

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

The life we create...

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

Thanks Betty!

Here's my Bliss

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!!

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

Didn't feel like watching the State of the Union address so I whipped up another SAB sample card using Punch Bunch. Here it is!

Fun combo this week! Here's mine...

Friendship

Here's mine: LOVE
TFL!

Thanks for the super challenge, Betty! Here's my Many Butterflies. Thanks so much for looking! (sorry the pic bg looks a little blurry. I think my camera was trying to focus on the big butterfly.)

Finally got this posted!!

CC307 Judi Valentine
 

Here's my card using this week's colors. They really do go well together. Thanks.

CC307 Judi Valentine by CAKath - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

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 :)

SER Valentines

CC307 Ode to a Gardener by GardenDiva - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Better late then never !!! After I started working this card I actually will use this color combo again. Soft Suede goes with everything !

Here are some Hugs and Kisses for you...
