JAI #258: ANNIVERSARY CARD FOR A COLOUR CHALLENGE

This week's challenge at Just Add Ink is a colour challenge.  Rochelle has challenged us to use these colours together:










A couple of weeks ago, hubby and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary.  Even though he's a "no fuss" kind of guy, I always like to give him a card - and keep it pretty simple!

I like how this week's challenge colours worked for this occasion ... plenty of the lovely neutral Smoky Slate, with a couple of pops of Melon Mambo, and slipping in Blackberry Bliss on the sentiment:






Be sure to see how the other members of the Design Team used these colours.  We'd love to see what you make using this colour combination, too; link up your card or scrapbook page over at the Just Add Ink blog.

Below I've listed all the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card.  You can click on any of the images, and you'll be taken to my online store.

  9. This is such a fabulous card Christine! I would normally think these colours would work more for a feminine card, but you've made these colours work perfectly for a masculine card.
