French Foliage Card

     There are some Stampin' Up! colors that I would NEVER think to put together.  The following card is a very good example of this:

Designed by Bonnie Fields

     Who would have thought that Elegant Eggplant, More Mustard, and Garden Green would look this lovely together?  Definitely not me!  This is such a rich and warm color combination.  It makes a wonderful fall-themed card, as well as an inviting "you're in my thoughts" type of card.

RECIPE

CARD STOCK:   Elegant Eggplant, More Mustard, & Very Vanilla

INKS:  Elegant Eggplant, More Mustard, Garden Green, & River Rock

STAMPS:  French Foliage & Word Play

     I hope you give this color combination a try.  The picture just does not do it justice.

Happy Wednesday!

     On November 10th, we will be making two holiday-themed cards.  One will be a shaker card (using the new Shake Frames) and the other will use the embossing resist technique on Glossy paper (gorgeous if I might say so myself!).  You will use one Shaker Frame and get to take the rest of the set (5 more rings) home with you, so you can make more at home.  If you are interested in these types of cards, don't miss November's Stampin' Nite.  RSVP by November 5th.

Happy Monday!
