I’m a HUGE fan of brown tones. Dark Chocolate is one perfect brown! Not to red, not too green… just right! Finding coordinating products for this was easy,I went with rich earth tones and also found some fantastic nuetral embellishments.
I’ve put together my walk through video plus explain how I used some of the product for my card. Enjoy!
I created my card using a few circle dies as the focal point, both are from Simon Says Stamp, the larger one is from the Hexagon Pattern Die set and the smaller is from the Circle on a Line set. I loved the Take a Hike paper from Simple Stories, it was perfect for this arrangement.
I added a few embellishments to my arrangement starting with the Urban Metal badge for Lily Bee Designs, and the Wood Dots from the Just Splendid My Mind’s Eyes collection.
Putting everything together was simple using the coordinating products. :o)

Love the gorgeous choccie brown. Great card. Like those wood dots
mmm, what a delicious colour and coordinates!!!
FAB card too, LOVE your chocolate circles :)
nice tones of brown. great for masculine cards
I don’t use brown very often, but I would like to try it more. It helps to see what specific products that it looks good with. I really liked the paper pad that had the pastels and feathers in it. Thank you for the video! It’s much appreciated!
Love all those warm brown colors.
Absolutely fabulous collection! You do such great job finding perfect matches :)
Awesome brown collection! Fabulous card too. Thanks for the inspiration :)
I don’t normally use brown but I need to rethink – this is fab!
Terrific colors! The brown looks super elegant but yet masculine enough so that it could work for a man as well. Love it!
Lovely shade of brown
I pin these on my colour board :) I would love to see you make the card though, I always learn new things from your videos :)
Love the brown tones! Beautiful cards.
Love the dark chocolate! Such a rich color.
This is a beautiful colour. I finished a nice brown card I had and it’s been so difficult to find more. It’s a pity card is so heavy to ship. Doesn’t seem fair to the planet. I always find gold works well with brown
So creative,I love this article
Yummy dark chocolate! Love those wood dots! Thanks, Shari!
Such a rich and lovely colour :) Love the card as well :)
Love the color. Also love the patterned papers you paired with it on your card
Love how you’ve combined so many fun elements on this card!
A great collection of goodies you put together for this brown combo. I like how your card shows us to use lots of embellishments yet it isn’t too much.
I love how the brown makes the other colors pop.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Great color combo Shari. I always love the way you incorporate different products to create a well coordinated project like this card

Wood Veneer Birds Kit. I was unable to find the exact product showcased in the Color Coordinates, I believe you said it is a Prima product.
Hi Shari your color coordinates are so helpful to me, I’m am somewhat color challenged. Like the monthly kit you all make card crafting such a pleasure. thank you.
