I LOVE Dawn's color challenge. She really takes me out of my comfort zone. All these pinks??? I am also amazed to be writing about a clean and simple card. I can't even believe it, these are usually so hard for me. Oh and it is still raining, so this is the best picture I could get right now.
Here is my take. 
I have the hardest time with little boys birthday cards. This is for a friend of ours whose son will be 6 in May. I think it turned out really cute. I don't even think he will mind all of the pink, he is an ice cream lover, so I hope he will look past it. As I write this, I am not sure. What do you think? Maybe I should make another for him and give this to a bigger guy. Any way this was so easy to make. It is really just the Martha Stewart ice cream punch and the swiss dots embossing folder. A little ribbon and done.
It's a good life!

ReplyDeleteFabulous card!! I love the swiss dots with the small punches of color.
ReplyDeleteSOO cute! Now I MUST have that punch!
ReplyDeleteIs that a punch?!?!?! awesome!
ReplyDeleteOne courageous lady!! I haven't mustered up the courage to play with these colors yet, but I will! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it!! I went the ice-cream way as well ;) It's amazing, you can give a group of ladies the same exact materials and no 2 projects will ever be the same. TFS :0)
ReplyDeleteTerri, this is gorgeous! I love the hints of color and all that awesome texture. Absolutely fab!
ReplyDeleteI love this card. It's a great way to work in those colors. I just finished my Kwerner color challenge, but I can't seem to get my head around these colors.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't have any advice on using it for a boy! I can't ever figure those guys out ;)
Totally adorable card!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to have found your blog.
Blessings to you!

So cute, it's making me want some ice cream! I don't think a younger boy will mind---it is ice cream, after all, but an older boy might mind the pinks! How about some mint chocolate chip? Start your own color challenge! Now I am REALLY wanting some ice cream!
