When I first saw the colors for today's challenge (Basic Gray, Apricot Appeal, Sage Shadow), I wasn't enthused. I have never been a fan of Apricot or Sage (and really won't miss them at all, since they are retiring from SU). BUT -- after assembling this card, I felt it was a pretty, unexpected color combo that I had overlooked before. The colors really are rather nice together.
I did add some Going Gray in here, behind the black CS, but that's because the Going Gray/Black squares were already assembled and in one of my $1.00 Scrap Bag finds. Hope you all don't mind!
Thanks for looking.

Lovely design and layout! I must admit I was a bit stumped by today's colour challenge but you've made it look so easy! I really like that cake stamp - very elegant.

Just wonderful, Colleen! You did a super job with this challenging color challenge I just ordered this Let Them Eat Cake set from Flourishes myself (using a $10 gift card I won recently from a Timeless Tuesday challenge) and can't wait to use it. I love how you paired it with the French Script and Bella Toile backgrounds!
