Betty has some unusual colors this week for the CC: Soft Suede, Riding Hood Red, & Elegant Eggplant...forcing me to put my thinking cap on! Yes...I'm a stalker...I kept checking the new card additions on SCS to see what colors were on board. I made the card without knowing what the dessert option was, and I can't believe I didn't use a single die on this one! Oh, well...I need to skip dessert anyway - lol! I used my nearly forgotten sanded BG stamp...love the look of it, especially with distressed and sponged edges. I'll be anxious to see what everyone comes up with using these colors. This card is also for the Paper Sundaes Challenge to use distressing.

for thinking these were unusual colours, you certainly did an excellent job of creating this card... I love that bg and way you distressed it and even turned down the top corner.... You blended the colours so well.... I absolutely love it.....
