There's another gorgeous color challenge over at the CR84FN blog - the CR84FN25 colors are red, aqua, and white. What a fab combo to take us into spring! Here's the yummy inspiration photo:
For my little card, I started with a Unity bicycle stamped in black, then colored over the top of it with colored pencils to bring in the bold red and aqua. For the background, I stamped PTI's text background in aqua, and distressed the edges of the panel with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. The sentiment is PTI as well. I also made the background paper on the top of the card by stamping with another Unity stamp repeatedly, and blending in some more Distress Ink. The red scalloped border is Crate Paper Restoration (I swear I will use every last scrap of that line!) Finished off with a little lipstick red bling. I kept this quite flat because I'm going to be mailing it soon.
As always, there's tons of inspiration over at the CR84FN blog. (And have you noticed the great quotes that are included in every color palette photo?) Thanks, ladies!

What could be nicer than riding around with all of those flowers!

This color combo is one of my very favorites, though you won't find it anywhere in my home... except for in my studio. It is happy, vintage and inspiring! You did a darling job with it on your card-
