New Color Challenge - my entry

One of our creative Close To My Heart consultants has recently begun a fun color challenge on her blog. I missed out on the first week because I was too busy with Easter prep, but I jumped right in on this week's challenge.

You can play too, even if you don't have the CTMH colors called for; just use something similar you already own. This week's color challenge uses Sorbet, Tulip, and White Daisy (I added Chocolate to my color palette). If you're a Stampin' Up! user, I recommend substituting Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, and Whisper White.

Here's my card, a sneak preview of our May Stamp of the Month, Be Yourself. I also use the Argyle Backgrounds stamp set.

I based my card on the "Upright" sketch from Originals, a 3.5 x 8 inch card. I just twisted my image squares to give a little more playful feeling, otherwise I used the exact sketch measurements and design.

Because I had so much going on, I limited my embellishments to color coordinated brads in Sorbet and Tulip, and teeny tiny Sparkles rhinestones on two of the images.

I carried my design and color scheme inside the card as well. I simply stamped my interior image in Tulip to make it stand out more, and the sentiment in Sorbet. I added a strip of my argyle background on a Chocolate base to the bottom of the card interior just for some design repetition.

Please post a link to your card in a comment; I'd love to see your designs! If you'd like to visit the KJ's Stamp Pad to follow her color challenge yourself, visit her here.
