The colors Arielle picked for her Color Q Challenge this week were as stunning as ever. {Real Red, Bashful Blue, Taken with Teal, Black, White} I decided to make a boy birthday card with it. Of all the colors in the combination the one I wanted least on my card was Bashful Blue, so I just used it as framing accents. This is the first time I've layered the top note. I wanted to have stars surrounding the top note frame. I decided to make all my taken with teal elements crimped for some extra texture and interest. I got to add my lovely designer star brads - perfect for boy! This sentiment comes from the set Kind & Caring Thoughts {hostess set}. Here it's not paired with flowers for quite a different use of the set!
