Blessings from Home

Hello Everyone! Spending another day inside to avoid the heat. I can't wait until Monday, the high is supposed to be a cool 85. Some rain would also be nice. Anyway, I have a card today that combines three dark colors. Creative Colour Challenges #47 combined Cajun Craze, Basic Gray and Evening Evergreen. I also added just a tiny bit of gold, hope that is okay.

TBT- Beautiful Peacock

Hello, Today I have a brightly colored card that uses a stamp set from Sale-A-Bration a few years back. SU! Color Challenge for July includes Night of Navy, Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide. These colors ware perfect to use for 2018 stamp set, Beautiful Peacock. I love pulling out old products and combining them with current.
