Bombshell Hump Day Hop- a Color Challenge!!!

Hello, and welcome!!! It's time for our monthly Hump Day Hop! You should have arrived here from Laura's Blog. If you did, you're on the right track! If you didn't, head on over to the Bombshell Stamps' Blog to start the hop from the very beginning!

This month, Alison, our Hump Day Hottie, challenged us with a beautiful color combination! Check it out:


Aren't these colors fabulous?! I had originally wanted to use all 5 colors on my card, but I couldn't "fit" them all on there, so I settled for 3 colors. Here's my card:

A close-up of those gorgeous koi:


A BIG thank you to my friend, Jane, who came to the rescue by giving me a couple of sheets of Soft Sky cardstock!! Of all the blues that I had, none of them were even close to matching the swatch. I think Soft Sky is perfect! Thanks, Jane! You saved the day!!

I thought the koi images worked perfectly for this color combo. I hope you like it. Now, head on over to Torrey's Blog to continue on your journey.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see you again soon!!
