SA New Color Hop: Crushed Curry

http://www.stampinaddicts.com/forums/general-stampin-talk/9354-new-colors-blog-hop-june-10-a.html

Welcome to our hop! One of the great things about Stampin' Up! is the color coordinated line of products, and the fact that SU keeps it fresh by updating the color families every few years, and adds new In-Colors every year. This year marks another color refresh and SU brought back a few old favorites and introduced some soon-to-be new favorites. We at Stampin Addicts wanted to highlight these new colors and have put together a fun hop for you today.

If you are following along the hop from the beginning, I am stop #9, the last stop! You may have just arrived from Sara's blog where she featured Soft Sky, another of my favorites. Didn't she do a wonderful job?! If you are lost, here is the link to the main hop thread. Don't be afraid to leave us some comments and share conversations there. We all like to chat as much as we like to stamp, lol!

I was going for a very masculine feel with this one and you can never go wrong with the banner look. Those chevrons are from the big oval of chevrons from the Oh, Hello set, believe it or not.
