Colour Dare CAS

Tonight I was inspired to play along with the gals at the Colour Dare.  They have an intriguing colour combo this week...

Cherry Cobbler
Marina Mist
Basic Gray

These colours are so unusual together and right away I thought of a boy's birthday card but after several attempts, I just couldn't make that work!  So then I decided to go simple...clean and simple!  I have wanted to ink up my "Friends 24/7" set for a while...I finally bought it last month, after years of borrowing it from a friend.  It is my all time favourite set and I knew I had to have it! So here is my Clean and Simple take on the colours this week...nothing "groundbreaking" but I am happy.  I think this will be a nice card for my stash!!!


I thought about embossing or stamping the background of the card but I decided to let it be!  I used my Blender Pens to colour the flowers, the stems are coloured with the blender pen and gray ink.  Maybe I should have coloured the flowers Cherry Cobbler?  I will have to try that next time.

Thank you for stopping by!

Lesley
