Not My Usual Color Challenge Card!

Happy Thursday! I realized I didn't share my card for this week's SCS Color Challenge, so here it is! I went in a different direction with this one -- I let the paper and cardstock do the color work, and I kept the background and ink neutral.

I'm trying to challenge myself to get away from my "usual" style now and then and to change things up a little! I've always loved the look of a white background, but for some reason I always feel the need to cover it all up! I fought the urge on this card, and I'm really happy with the result!

There's not much to explain here -- it's another SU! only card (that's twice in one week!). If you have any questions, just ask! :)

I'm glad you stopped by today -- thanks so much!

Have a fantastic day!
Christina

Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes Ink: Basic Black Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Rose Red Paper: Bella Rose dsp, Autumn Vine dsp Other: black gingham ribbon, Button Bouquet, dimensionals

Hi Christina,

Love the cards and creativity that's flowing in your neck of the woods. If you need a break from your work, make the delicious Blondies (or Brownies, or Guacamole) posted on my blog. Your kids, and maybe even lit'l Chub will love your forever.

Ciao,
Maggie
