A Colour Challenge at CASual Fridays!!

Good Morning everyone...
Last weeks challenge made a stunning looking gallery with some amazing colour combinations against your black base cards and this week we have three colours for you to play with in this weeks CASual Fridays challenge...
You can make any card or project you want as long as these three colours are the main focus.
This weeks generous sponsor is Stop&Scrap, they have an amazing online store stuffed full of yummy stash... go check it out :0)

Well no matter how much I tried to think otherwise, I saw these colours as perfect for a guys card so I went with a geometric design...
.... these little rectangles are the waste from the Dienamics film strip die and this is just one cool way I wanted to use them because I just love the tiled effect...... do you see a grey blue dot in the white intersections ???  You're eyes are playing tricks on you of course!!!
To keep it suitable for a guy I kept the embellishments to a minimum and no bows either... guys cards are the perfect time to make a CAS card :0)

I hope you have fun with this colour combo and I look forward to seeing how you use them.... don't forget to visit the rest of the Girl Fridays to and see how the colours inspired them too :0)

Thanks for looking 
Jenny x
