Kristina's Color challenge for this week features Rose Red, Pretty In Pink, Old Olive, and Whisper White. They are such lovely colors to work with. Although he challenge began in 2008, I am posting my first card in 2009. What a nice way to start the New Year.
I chose Stampin'Up! stamp sets, Best Wishes and More and Thank You Kindly. I used Rose Red, Pretty In Pink, and Whisper White card stock. SU inks used were Rose Red, Pretty In Pink, and Old Olive. I used Old Olive brads, Pink Duo Beads, Tombow glue, Stampin Dimensional's, and Glue Dots. I used the corner rounder punch, the 1 3/8" and 1 3/4" circle punches,and a flower punch. Lastly, I embossed using the Classy Brass Dots. I loved doing this 4" x 4" Thank you note card. After the holidays, it is always nice to have a thank you note on hand. Best wishes to everyone for the new year.
This rocks! I love the bright colors, the details and your CB'd background! Winner material!

Thank you to all of you who sent me good wishes and commented on this post. Encouragement is what a lot of doing these inspirations is all about. We all need praise and encouragement whether we ever get recognized or not. So keep stamping and creating. We are all in this together! Love you guys!
