So, you might be asking... where is the Peach Parfait?! Well, it's peeking out from behind the circle on the far right side. Oh, yes, and at the top of the teeny tiny cupcake. I also used my Peach Parfait marker on the sayings.
Although this is a very cute card (if I do say so myself), I didn't feel quite right about putting this card out there with the color challenge. So, I pulled out a different stamp set (Grunge Rock) and checked my new handy dandy Color Coach to help me come up with another color combination with Peach Parfait. Right away I was drawn to the top combo suggestion: Not Quite Navy, Pear Pizzazz (another new In-Color) and Peach Parfait. If you haven't noticed, blues and greens ARE my go-to colors! I don't think that's cheating though, do you?
It took me a whole day to put this card together. I got so far with it yesterday and then got busy doing other stuff. To tell you the truth, I sort of got stuck with the design process. So I walked away. They say that if you get stuck while creating something, it helps to walk away and take a nap. Your mind supposedly does much of your creative thinking while you're sleeping. I didn't actually take a nap, but I did eventually go to bed last night. Well, that worked! Here's what I came up with:
Along with Grunge Rock, I used the letter U from Jayne's Type Alphabet stamp set. I think those sets work perfectly together!
Okay, now I'm going to challenge you to dig thru your card stock and ink pads and find a color that you haven't used in awhile. And show it some LOVE!
Happy Stampin!
