Color Favorites

 I pretty much love natural looking things. I've never been one to have a favorite color. When Nichole asked the Papertrey InkDT to make something with out favorite color combo I sighed. How COULD I possibly choose? But I had to. So, here is what I came up with. Let me tell you why! You should wear your clothes, not your clothes wear you. Same goes for stamps, if you are a stamper. Stamps are the focal point and not an after thought. This combo is my little black dress of my color palette. Simple, natural and goes with everything! Seriously! Try it! (And... how fun is that graphic that Nichole gave me to share with you! Perfect huh!

 

I used Life as the focal stamp set. (um, yeah.... I know I've used it a lot... I love it though.) The satin ribbon is bunched up then sewn onto a strip of stamped cardstock. My favorite Papertrey embellishment, buttons, adorn the strip too. A little silk ribbon bow adds a finishing touch. Simple but elegant. Love that!

My little card front here is for a special give away that is going on over at Nichole's blog. Make sure to head over there to see what's up!

Thanks for poppying by!

What a gorgeous card! Love the line of buttons on the ribbon. I fell in love with this color combo. I, like you, don't really have a favorite color. When asked, I say "black" and then have to hear how black isn't really a color, etc. Anyhow, thanks for the inspiration!
