It's hard to see from this photo, but the sparkle & shine of this Speckled Aura foil (like gold sparkles) really does SHINE on this card!! After foiling, I used the stencils with Starry Sky and Night of Navy for the leaves and Magenta Madness for the flowers (inks are SU!).
I hope you can see the shine a bit better in this close-up? There is also a coordinating die that cuts out the center piece which I added with foam tape to a Night of Navy card base. I die cut the center piece again with a scrap of Night of Navy cs and hot foiled the birthday sentiment before in-laying it into the center of the card.
So what will YOU do with this color pairing...we can't wait to see! If you need inspiration to get started, definitely check out what our talented DT did with these colors...I think you'll be blown away! This challenge will be open till Tuesday, April 14th @ 9:00AM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Marcia this is the prettiest birthday card, I love the way the press plate steals the show and the foiled sentiment in the centre is fabulously placed! Lovely my friend!
The press plate has added an extra dimension to your card Marcia. Such a delicate take on these bold colours. :)
Oh, my goodness, that's some very fine stenciling and it's absolutely gorgeous! I do see the shine quite nicely, and the sentiment is a stand out against the navy. You always use the colors so beautifully, Marcia!
This is just as lovely as can be, Marcia. I always enjoy your full floral backgrounds as they are Always Perfect! This is a perfect example. Well done!
OHHHH so beautiful, Marcia! I love this plate and it pairs well with the colors given, but you made it gorgeous! I can see some of the shine, but wish I could discern the speckled aura better -- it HAS to be beautiful!
What a beautiful floral background, Marcia! The colors you chose are enhanced by that gorgeous foil. (Yes, I can see it!) I love that cutout in the middle for the sentiment. For all the PFS products I have this is one I missed along the way. Wonderful card!!!
Awesome foiling and stenciling, Marcia! It's perfect for these colors and I love the cutout in the center with the sentiment!
That floral frame is just the sweetest, Marcia! This is a pretty birthday card!
The delicate frame of flowers is gorgeous in the challenge colors, Marcia, and the foiling makes it extra special.
I have been missing for a while. I went to France and am having quite a time trying to catch up after having been away. I wanted to be sure to pop in today. What a gorgeous thing you have created with those wonderful colors, Marcia! I love the floral frame and the fioling looks marvelous.
You've used these two colors perfectly! The stenciling is so detailed and perfect. I can see the shine. Such a lovely way to use these colors.
Ohmystars, Marcia! I'm in love with your card! The colours, the design, the image, the foiling: talk about an eye-catching combination of elements resulting in a stunning card. WOW in every way!

Gorgeous foiled and coloured flowers and leaves Marcia. Beautiful card! xx
Marcia, so pretty. The time it must have taken to color ... so worth the outcome.
Anything foiled is already gorgeous in my book but then add the pretty stenciling in fuchsia and navy and you have a WOW card! I like that there's plenty of white in the background, which also plays off the inlaid navy sentiment piece. What a beautiful card, Marcia!
Perfect products to use for this color combo! Beautiful card!
