This week’s color challenge includes 2 colors from our new In Colors, Blueberry Bushel and Call Me Clover. The third color is from our Subtle collection, Calypso Coral. The colors in the Abstract Impressions DSP are Night of Navy and Shaded Spruce but they work with these colors.

I got my inspiration for this card from Jo Ann Hewins, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator out of Conover, NC
