Red, black and white is a classic color combination that I always enjoy using. It is graphic and bold and red is my favorite color. How can I not love it? The designer secret is to use the red and black sparingly so they pop against the white as with Day 4 and Day 15. This card can also being interpreted in other color ways. Try it and see what color combination you come up with. Meet me back here for Day 21 of the 31 Days of Handmade Cards. Be creative!
