For today's color challenge to use Almost Artichoke, Riding Hood Red, Basic Grey, and black...what? Black wasn't on there?...oh crap!
No, just kidding...I decided to use some homemade plaid dp that I started for yesterday's sparkle challenge, but didn't use. It had red and black in it so I went with it... Used First Fruits from PTI...this set is REALLY elegant!
Last week I went too heavy on the basic grey, so this week, I embossed it on the edges with Blizzard Glitz embossing powder, and just have a peek showing....so really, it's more silver...
that's right, the challenge WAS red, artichoke, grey, black, and silver! Hmmm maybe I better go back and read the CC rules...be easy on me Emily...these are substitute papers on top of it (except for the artichoke!)

Avon Lady, how great is this despite the fact that you failed to follow the rules again! Yes, I said again. Remember when .... oh well, it's way too specific to for Emily to get excited about enforcing the rules. I would have to say with a card this great, she just might be persauded to let this slip by. great card, Kelly girl!
