I cannot possibly do the color combo this week without mentioning the major color changes taking place with Stampin Up's color collection! While any brand cardstock is allowed for the color combos, we have always used Stampin Up colors as a name to a color for a reference point. With that said, I am absolutely esctatic about the new line up and have already started saving my pennies so I can get them all! Since so many colors are going to retire, I plan to take the opportunity before 30 colors retire if I am not mistaken to start using more in the cc challenges. This week there are three with a fourth option....and all four are retiring! I checked and could not believe that this color combo had not been done! I think it is gorgeous and I know you all will fill the gallery with some beauties! Happy Stamping!
CC266: Blushing Coral Rubies
Blush Blossom
Cameo Coral
Ruby Red
Neutral White or Ivory
This week's dessert option: Caramel or Cocoa? You can add either creamy caramel or close to cocoa to the three listed above for an even more decadent color combo! It is optional, but either is oh, so divine!
I have asked Bonnie and Neva to sample with me this week! Thanks so much, girls!
Please keep in mind, too, that while we list SU colors for the challenges these are just color reference points. Use the closest colors you have. We want everyone to be able to play!!!
Please put CC266 in your keywords section (and if you have more than one challenge use a comma to separate them) so we can find your card! If you need help uploading click here!
I will be hosting the color challenges for the next few weeks. If there is a color combo you want to see using any of the new in colors, please pm me with the link to the card. Try to stay within three color choices. Thanks so much!
So gorgeous! I have a long travel day tomorrow but I'll try to make something with this combo this week. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration from everyone tonight.

BEAUTIFUL COLORS, Betty!! I hate to see colors go...especially when I am fond of them. One never seems to find the exact substitute. I have an envelope in my purse that is chocked full with snippets of cardstock I hope to find out there in the world! So far I haven't! : ) Love your challenge today because it gave me a chance to use a SU set that I just received. Thanks!
Great color combination that I NEVER would have thought of! Now that I have used them, I can see why you were shocked it wasn't a color challenge in the past. I did see where the blush blossom marker will continue to be available after the renovation. Here's mine: CAS sympathy by #1volunteer at Splitcoaststampers
For some reason, mine isn't showing up in the cc gallery....
