Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge

So I must admit this is my first Color Challenge!! The colors for the week are Basic Black, Whisper White, Going Gray, and a color of our choice. The color that I chose was Tempting Turquoise. I really never see Turquoise with a black and white card so I thought I would try it. At first...I really did not like this card, but it started to grow on me. I hope this is not too much Turquoise... I was try to go for the color "pop". Thanks for looking and have a great Thursday night!!

Sorry I have been so MIA, but I am getting ready for my first week of Grad School. This week has been very chaotic with all of the testing, commuting from Denver to Boulder everyday ( Yes, I am taking the bus.....gas is very expensive!!), and I have been out of energy. Today, I had a free day (yea!!) to make a card and yes I needed to make one...lol!! I combined the WT180, SC190, and CC180 challenges together.
