So I cheated a little bit and added So Saffron to the color combo. This addition was dictated by the fact that I wanted to use the Love Birds Simply Scrappin' kit to make my challenge card. Have you seen this kit up close? It is SO adorable! I am particularly in love with the Blushing Bride houndstooth patterned paper.
This card was a quick design since all of the pieces I needed could be found in the kit. The sentiment reads, "You + Me = Cloud Nine". To jazz up the sticky die-cuts, I added Crystal Effects to the "U" and Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the cloud.
At the bottom, I added three coloured brads, making sure to line them with the matching colored stripes underneath, and I finished the card with a ribbon bow made out of Pear Pizzazz ribbon (love the texture of the In Colours ribbon this year, kiind of like fancy twill!) and I tied a Blushing Bride button (from the Holidays Mini Big Designer buttons collection) in the middle. The Early Espresso scallop border is a sticky die-cut from the SS kit as well.
