Color Inspiration #15

Another week, another color inspiration challenge...

I'm still getting over whatever "bug" I had last weekend, but I felt good enough to drag out my supplies and attempt a card. I have to admit, I like it, lol. Maybe the "bug" inspired me, lol

Everyone knows how big a fan of Kristina Werner's I am. She's got such good taste and I love the color combos she comes up with. And this week's combo is no exception.




So I pulled out all the colors...and then remembered that I had a card already made! YES!!! My dad's birthday is coming up, and I had bought a new set of stamps from PaperTrey, and I was trying to get a jump on birthday cards, I made up a few. I just had to change out the paper to Really Rust, and voila!



Here's my submission. I really hope you enjoy it!

    lovely card - its so nice to have cards for guys that are manli-sh... all mine tend to be girly. your dad is one lucky guy! love the autumnal tree with its changing colors :)
    hope you are feeling better now - its definitely not fun to be sick in the summer - i am just getting over a sinus infection. but there is nothing like making a card to make you feel better :)
    best wishes,
    sankari
    ps - thanks for sympathizing about my xacto knife adventures - my index finger is still aching :)
