I have a customer who is a fairly new stamper and is really interested in becoming a demonstrator. She explained that one fear she has is picking colors for her projects and how to combine colors to maximize the wow factor. We were having this discussion at work and didn't have a catalog where we were. I asked her to pull the SU site up on her computer so I could show her the color coach in the on line catalog. I told her that I use my wheel like my bible when choosing colors and that it would be a great tool for her and would give her more confidence. The color the wheel is set on in the caty is Perfect Plum and uses Mustard, Ruby Red, Close to Cocoa and Barely Banana. She looked at the colors and then looked at me like......"are you kidding me....???" I told her I would bring a card in to work on Monday using those colors to show her how they would really pop with each other. I made this card for her. I did add Olive for the leaves but I do not feel it takes away from anything. Everything really pops on this card and I finished it off by sponging my versa pad across it and added iridescent ice ep to it for a sparkle.

This is beautiful and I love the layout. I never thought of using masking with this set. I too am colored challenged and have a hard time putting colors together so I know how your customer feels.
