Do you ever try something new thinking you won't like it, then surprise yourself? That's what happened to me with this color combo. You all know I love chocolate chip, soft colors or brights~ I rarely use gray.I kept the design very clean with lots of white, added a neat texture, and I love the result!
I began with the Circle Circus set and discovered that the 1-1/4" punch works perfectly with the dotted circle. I like the way the round tab punch looks when stamped with a circle too. I cut the main images out, added a silver brad, and popped them on dimensionals. For the curry panel, I had fun playing with a couple other Texturz plates but I chose the Paisley. To see the details, click on the photo. I think it works perfectly with the circles, dont you?
Crushed Curry is unlike any other Stampin Up! color, if you haven't tried it yet you need to get your hands on some. Would you like a sampler of the new In Colors? I'll send one to the first eight people who ask for one in my comments box! Please include your name and address with your comment.
Have a great day!

I love these colors together! Don't need the sampler though since I bought every last one. They're great. Dusty Durango looks magnificent with basic gray and black, too. Quite an elegant and classic combination, just like this one!
