MFT Color Challenge #22

Here we go with another color challenge from My Favorite Things.  And boy, was this week a challenge for me.  Check out these colors!

See what I mean?  These were so outside of my realm.  The Persimmon is beautiful but I would never have thought to coordinate it with the other three colors.  Black is really not my go to color unless I'm using it for a sentiment stamp and any shade of purple just intimidates the heck out of me.  So, once again MFT is forcing me out of my box.  I took the challenge and struggled through it and came up with a card that actually turned out kind of cool.  

This is the type of card that I would call a masculine card.  Masculine cards to me, are not just muted or dark colors.  I'm not much for the blended camouflage look.  I like my masculine cards to be cheerful and bold.   I took the black and just ran with it, hoping that the pops of the other colors would make it a fun birthday card.  Well, this one will just make you dizzy!

For this card I used the following supplies from:

My Favorite Things:

Diagonal Stripes Background Stamp

Party Balloon Stamp set

Accent It - Celebrate Die-namics
