NEW: Color Combo Challenge

 
This is my first "challenge" and I hope you have fun with it. The above is a color combination I thought of for Father's Day cards (or simply a masculine card).

Send me a card (a picture via email or an actual card via the mail) using this color combination (at least 3 of the colors shown above). A winner will be chosen and featured in an upcoming newsletter (I send them out monthly to my subscribers) as well as receive a free gift from me.

When submitting via email, be sure to include "Color Combo Challenge" in the subject so I know you are entering the contest. All entries must be received by June 30, 2008.
 
I'm looking forward to receiving your entries - Enjoy!

Simple Father's Day Cards 
 
These cards were specifically designed for children to do.  For a remote kids workshop, I pre-stamped the "shore" scene where all they had to do is color (with crayons or watercolor pencils).
 
For the "shirt" card, I pre-folded the shirt (using Designer Series Paper), precut the tie and other small pieces, and all they had to do is re-fold it and insert their personal greeting.
