White vs. Ivory

This card was inspired by the colors, I just saw them and had to put them together. I used ivory on this card instead of white....it softened the look of the card and pulled the cocoa into the brighter red and medium blue. I don't like to mix whites and ivory, it totally makes me crazy. If I have a patterned paper with ivory, I totally have to continue with that with the rest of the card. It tends to become a negative sometimes. Like with this red patterned paper, the ivory really narrows what it can work with.
