It's time for another Just For Fun® color challenge. This week Sherry is in Chicago at CHA (lucky girl!) but we're trying to carry on! I hope you're having a blast, Sherry!
Here are our colors for the week:

I've wanted to try this Faux Postage technique for quite a while, but was intimidated a little. It had been quite some time since I'd tried it originally, but after seeing Debby (Just For Fun®) demonstrate it at a craft show a couple of weeks ago, I was ready! It was so easy using the JFF stamps and template combo. Don't you love the way it looks?

C'mon and play along with us! It's simple...just use the color combo and then post a direct link to your card on the Just For Fun® blog. You could win a $50 gift certificate! Woo hoo!
Please check out what the other DT members have created using these colors:
