SUO Challenges: The Colors of Freedom

Happy Tuesday y'all and get ready for a new challenge from SUO Challenges!

This time it's a color challenge:



It might be the colors on the American flag, but you don't have to do a patriotic card.  I mean, that would be a great choice for my mom's birthday card (HI MA, happy birthday!) but you can choose your shades of red and blue and make it your own thing.  So here's what I made:


I added a bit of gray with the cloud pattern from the Take to the Sky DSP floated on a Perennial Postage die shape.  I did make the die cut a little bit shorter than the original die, which is easy enough to do because you just line up the dimples to make it shorter.  Then I added a couple of simple red biplanes, a sentiment, a few retired Milky Dots, and it's done!  I keep using embellishments even after they're retired because why not.  I have a photo box full of fun things and I always write the colors on the packaging so I know what they match.

Anyway, I chose Blueberry Bushel and Real Red for my shades, so what are your red and blue combo?  Make sure you share your card at the SUO Challenges blog and as always, have fun!
