My Favorite "Guy" Card Color Combo

I have always loved this color combo for guy things....clothes....decor....and yes...cards!
back in the 80's...i discovered my love of this navy..tan and cream color combo when I made an afghan for a male friend..and I have loved it ever since.

I have long since retired my crochet hooks....and have replaced them with anything and everything related to card stock..ink..and rubber stamps.....and still...I have found myself going back to this color combination countless times when creating  "guy cards"...

This Father's Day card is CAS (my style of choice!) and is ideal, I think, for Sketch Challenge #3 over at Card and a Half and it's done in my favorite guy color combo...using Stampin Ups Not Quite Navy, Creamy Caramel and Very Vanilla






While I love this color combo for guy" cards....I know that it translates well to feminine cards..and so tomorrow I'll share a second card...also created for this card challenge...using similar colors...

Until then...I hope that you enjoy your Saturday...and that maybe...you'll visit Card and a Half to check out this Sketch Challenge
