Color challenge: Perfect Timing

So the challenge is make a card using your favorite colors... some of which are greens (olives, lime), brown, pink (with brown or light blue) and soft corals, blues = the "tropical stuff." And what to my wondering eyes did appear at Stamp Club but a card using two of these colors that I absolutely love, love and will use again and again for many different occasions - thinking OpWriteHome "miss you," anniversary you," birthday, "thinking of you" .... The stamp is a new Stampin' Up watercolor floral, the ink is Stampin' Up olive, which I immediately ordered! I love how the front of the card is torn (I would distress a bit as well) and then the inside cream insert is also stamped.

Blue and brown = guy cards!

A neighbor who has had so many family members deployed in the past 8 years and who knows of OWH mentioned that his unit never got anniversary and birthday cards for women to send home to husbands... so that is my mission for May. Lovely anniversary cards that aren't too frilly and feminine.

This color challenge was perfect for my "guy card" mentality ... brown and blue and a card for "any reason" in colors that are appropriate for guy cards... to cousins, brothers, sons who are grown. Easy and great for using up scraps..
