Well this colour combo of Bravo Burgundy, Pink Pirouette & Sahara Sand came from my Color Coach (#120148) and I think they look fab together.
I find my Color Coach an invaluable tool for picking colour combos, never in a million years would I have picked this combo but yet it works awesomely. My own team's demo forum has had a wee bit of discussion on it lately & yes I will agree the colours on the card swatch are not an exact match to the cardstock colour (its close though) but that's not how I use mine. I normally have an idea of what colour I want to work with, then look at the suggestions & get out real card stock & see what I think of the combo "in real life" - if you don't own one of these invaluable tools they're only $31.95 RRP & I can't imagine being without my one & I get really upset when I can't find it.
I'm hoping you can see the sparkle in this close up - I thought it looked real fab in real life.

My card was inspired by this beautiful card of Amy Celona's & she says her one was inspired by none other than Shelli Gardner, so I hope the lucky recipients liked there's. I had a lot of fun making them & I sure did have inky fingers at the end..
Great work Karen, just beautiful! And I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who keeps retired stuff in their stash to use later :-)
