Colours to die for!

I stumbled upon the challenge blog called The Color Dare the other day, and got hooked on immediately. Firstly because colour challenges are, together with sketches, my favourites. Mainly though because of their current challenge with given colours: Very Vanilla, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede. Now, whoever knows me well, knows too that the blue-brown match is my all-time craze. These colours look so perfect and warm together!
I've got a couple of different DP sets featuring this combination, so it was no problem for me to go for two submissions :) As you'll see, although they have the same colour scheme, the shades of blues & browns are quite different.

For my first card I used some bold patterns:

I'm entering it for "Do the Decade: The 80's" at 365 Cards, and Dream Duo at the same place (this one along with the next card in this post):

Both cards also go to "Recipe for Love Somethings" over at Stamp Something. The challenge says: 1 ribbon, 2 papers, 3 embellishments.

The second project alone enters "Getting Krafty" at Daring Cardmakers.
Ok, that about covers my list lol :)
Thanks for stopping by tonight, see you again tomorrow!
