Moxie Fab Color Challenge - Oh My!!

So I've been thinking and thinking and thinking...the current color challenge over at MoxieFabWorld really stumped me. Well Stephanie, that's why it's called a challenge :)

In case you haven't seen them on Cath's blog or in the latest issue of PaperCrafts, here are the colors:

told ya they're tricky!

I knew that I wanted to use my new Practicing Creativity stamps - Courtney's first set!! I adore the argyle stamps in the set. I got started & had everything on the card except the flourish. I'm not sure if I like the flourish, but I new it needed something to balance all of the blank space.


I have to say the card is growing on me....I like it a bit more each time I look at it. I definitely can't wait to use the stamps again - this time with a color combo that's more up my alley...this proves that the 70s orange shag carpet in my bedroom growing up really did scar me :)


Details:
Stamps - Key To My Heart (Practicing Creativity); Dot Flourishes (Inkadinkado); Giga Guide Lines (PTI)
Ink - Bravo Burgandy (SU!); Cool Gray & Autumn Leaf (Tsukineko)
Paper - white; Bravo Burgandy, Lavendar Lace (SU!)
Accessories - corner rounder; gray ribbon (Offray); Apricot mini jewel brads (American Crafts)

LOL I love the orange! Of course, I did not grow up with that carpet, so maybe I am safe! Really, this is a great fun and bright card!!

I went to a class with Courtney the other night and made some cool cards with this set. Of course I had to get my very own stamp set! I just love that argyle pattern.
