July Color Challenge

Hello there!  If you're new to our challenges, welcome!  If you're a returning participant, we're glad to see you again!  No matter what's going on in your area, it's always the winter holiday season here at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown. 

I'm Patricia, your hostess for the month of July, and this week I've come up with a color challenge.  I think of it as a "vintage traditional" color scheme:  



For color reference, Stampin' Up colors would be Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla, and Chocolate Chip.  Of course, you are never required to use only SU products for any of our challenges!  Simply use whatever you have that is closest to these colors.

Keep in mind that there should be no white, no black, no blues, no purples, no pinks, no light greens on your card... we only want to see the listed four warm, rich colors this week.  Since we realize many challenge participants enjoy adding embellishments to their cards, you may use a very small amount of metallic gold (such as cording, embossing powder, or a few brads) along with the four challenge colors.  However, in order to be considered for our weekly Top Five Honors, the four challenge colors must be the dominant colors used.

OK, enough chitter-chatter.  How about seeing what the design team did with these colors?
