A Fun Card!

I have a little story about this card...
Paula over at More than Favors has a color challenge, turquoise, red and white. I thought great!
Until I realized picking turquoise out of paper is tough! I ended up calling in my Husband who does not get involved in my crafting stuff unless it is so say something like... why is there glitter on my chair??

So anyway he sat down with me and we flipped through the paper packs and he felt this was as close to turquoise as you can get with the paper I own. So we had some good quality crafting time together LOL! (Poor Guy)

I built the card around his color choice and came up with this:




 How cool is this stamp?
