When I browsed the Amy Atlas Events gallery for today's Inspiration Challenge, I was fascinated by the colors Amy Atlas used for her dessert table on photo No. 108. I would never have thought of combining red, olive, beige and purple. Nevertheless, I wasn't as brave as Amy Atlas was with these colors, so I chose a stamp with only an outline design to get not too much color onto my card, but added a cardstock stripe and flower taking up the colors of the stamped background.
Guess I'll have to add this color combo to my "Definitely YES!" list!

Well, will you just look at this funky retro card you've created for this challenge! Back in the very early 60's, I remember seeing this rectangular pattern as kitchen countertops! How fun to relive those memories! Very electic and funky, Christianne. Just plain fun!
