When I saw that this week’s colors for the Dynamic Duos challenge were Blushing Bride and Soft Suede, I was super happy because I really like the combination of pink and brown.  I toyed with different ideas of what to do with them, and finally had a chance to sit down last night and start working with them.

I decided to go quick and easy, and I am low on love-themed cards for the box I’m preparing for Operation Write Home, so those factors decided my card theme and design.  I picked sketch #29 from the OWH Stars & Stamps blog for my layout.  It’s an older one, but I hadn’t used it before, so it feels good to check another one off the list.  I stamped the long vertical panel with a subtle design in the same color ink and added a ribbon to give it more visual interest.

I have to admit that I didn’t care for the Blushing Bride color when it was first introduced.  But it’s grown on me in the last year or so.  I like that it isn’t “little girlie pink” and doesn’t look overly feminine.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you’ve been having a good week.
