hi there,
Here is my card for the Colour Challenge today. I was so very honoured when Betty asked me to be one of the guest DT's this month. Here are the colors we have for you to play with this week:
Not Quite Navy (it's like, lets see, not quite navy blue, yah, does that help?)
Baja Breeze (it's like a Robin's egg blue)
Cherry Cobbler (it's a deep cranberry red that makes your heart sing!)
Neutrals of choice
Dessert option: Christmas in July or a winter theme hence the theme for my card.
I kept my card pretty simple. I stamped the winter image and after mounting added a white embossed piece behind. I scored a line top and bottom as well, sort of like framing the image.
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking,
Karen

Beautiful card Karen! Your image is so pretty and matted against the red and blue just makes it pop off the white. Like your houndstooth embossing, it adds great texture! TFS

Beautiful Karen! I love all the white around your gorgeous image (other than the fact that it has a tendency to make me think of snow). The textured layer is a great addition. Love it.
