The Color Hues Challenge #19~Blue and Brown...You are Perk-fect

Hello,

Happy June 1st - already! Welcome to Color Hues Challenge #19, where our lovely Nancy invites us to use hues of Brown and Blue as inspiration for the next two weeks. This combination suits so many occasions, especially masculine cards. Father's Day...it's coming soon!

My Simon Says coffee cups seemed 'perk-fect' for this challenge, especially in two shades of blue and sporting sparkly brown hearts. I paired them with brown + kraft cardstock and voila...done! A cute mini slimline ready, I hope, to brighten someone's day. 


Then, I decided to make a matchy-match envelope. The die collection for both the card and envelope is from one of my favourite companiese: My Creative Time)


Here's the card heading into the envelope and then the card tucked inside, ready to be mailed...


Please visit the rest of the team, along with our guest designer; they've created quite the array of dazzling delights with Brown and Blue:


The challenge is open until 9:00 AM (EST) on June 14th.
 The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge goes live (June 16th). 
The overall winner will have the opportunity to be a 
future Guest Designer!


Thank you for dropping by!

Your classic card is so pretty and the elements are perfect (with or without the 'k' ) for this combo. Love it!

I love a good pun so this gave me a giggle, Carol. Great way to use the challenge colors.

From a coffee-loving gal this card just speaks to me! I love all your slimline cards and the mini slimline is even cuter. I love that you carried the design onto the envelope as well! Your cards are always Perk-fect! Hugs!!

Such a great card--those blue cups and brown hearts are so cute! Love the addition of the cup to the envelope, too. Mini-slimlines are becoming my favorite card design.

This is the way to combine blue and brown!!! Lots of pretty white space, brown as background and accent to the bright blue. Perfectly done!
