Live Simply...

Here is my Unity Challenge card for today's challenge, picked by the fabulous Cyndi. She picked a 4-color challenge for us: use Brown, Pink, Orange and Turquoise on your card. When I first received the challenge, I thought, sweet!...retro-theme! I was so happy to use my new Unity Kit of the Month that appeared on my doorstep yesterday. The "live simply" stamp just stood out to me. (I am trying to "live simply" lately, with all that is going on and just letting things roll.) AND...I had some October Afternoon designer paper that had ALL 4 colors on it. It is from the Weathervane collection, and is called Sweater Weather.

I used Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch #79 for the card layout.

Card Supplies: Papers: Stampin Up- Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise, Pink Pirouette and Tangerine Tango. Designer Paper: October Afternoon- Weathervane collection. Stamps: Unity Stamp Co- March 09 Kit of the Month. Ink: Memento- Rich Cocoa and Bahama Blue, Tangelo for sponging edges. I distressed all edges of this card. Orange swiss dots ribbon from Michaels. Scallop Border Punch from Stampin Up.

Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to check out all the other Unity Challenge gals' blogs today!! Have a wonderful day.
