Thanks so very much - C4C #54

Today's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge is brought to us by Joycelyn and she's chosen to give us a color challenge. I love color challenges! Frances made this awesome diagram for us to use:


Isn't that totally COOL!?

I hope you aren't tired of seeing Framed Greetings--I simply can't put it down! Today I'm using it with Thanks a Bunch, one of MFT's Clearly Sentimental line. I'm also using some MFT digi paper from the Simply Spring collection. I printed the hounds tooth design on Fossil card stock--I love the rich hue I got with the red and the black is so sophisticated.


I used the new Perfect Bracket Edge Die-namics die for some contrast--I love how the design ties in really well with the shape of the Framed Greetings die. I also used the new Perfect Petal Trio Die-namics die for the flower. Other MFT products I used are Black Licorice card stock and the Summer Button Collection.

Here's the inside--such a great bunch of sentiments in this set!


I love black and red together--add Kraft and swooooon! And I love how this card turned out--I think it would be a great masculine card, even with the flower.

Sooooo, NOW, be sure to check out the samples by the rest of my crazy girls...er, I mean the Crazy 4 Challenges team ;-)
THEN, you know what to do--we'd love to have you come along and play with us. Just do your thing with the challenge and link it to Mr. Linky on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Please link directly to your project. And, if you upload to a public gallery, please use the key word C4C54.

Thanks so much for dropping in today!
