I'm thrilled to be your Color Challenge hostess today - Thanks Betty for the honor - I'll be hosting a few times over the next 3 months - whoo hoo!
My color choices for today - white, basic grey and river rock - all neutrals!
My card is white, embossed with a square Nestability, with a basic gray panel inside layered with a River Rock panel stamped with a text background. (the dessert option!)
The sentiment is cut with a Labels 10 Nestability and stamped with a label stamp, the sentiment and a scrolly. I popped the sentiment label up on foam tape and added one gem to the center of the scrolly.
I love the way the background text looks on this don't you??
