Good Sunday Morning to you all!!!! I hope all of you in the USA had a FABULOUS 4th of July.
Here in Nashville, TN we got DRENCHED!!!! It rained sooooooo hard. I don't ever recall a 4th that it had rained. Regardless, we still had fun and the fireworks display was wonderful. In fact I just found out last night that Nashville is one of the top 5 states for fireworks display on the 4th!
Pretty cool I thought. So, on to the cards. I am in need of some thank you cards and I took the opportunity to make some fun ones with Dawn McVey's Color Challenge. Her mix of colors are always so fun. Here are two that I made. I wanted some texture so instead of stamping I decided to dry emboss them. Also I do not have light grey twine, ribbon, or thread so I just used a teeny tiny strip of paper to thread the button on the top card. I hope you have fun checking out all of the color challenge players. Thanks so much for stopping to look at mine. Have a great Sunday!
Cheers!

What wonderful bright cheery cards!! I have never had any PTI cardstock but these colours look beautiful!! The embossing looks stunning and shows how you can combine different textures and it all still looks so good.

Love all your textures, Julie!! That's such a great idea and a fun way to mix things up! Another great idea was 'tying' your button with grey paper! I also do not have a lot of grey, but you definitely made the color combo challenge work well! :>
