I am one of the unlucky ones who doesn't have access to the lovely palette of SU colors, so I always have to improvise.....and this time this one is a bit of a stretch, but I hope you like it anyway . I planned to go with a lighter blue for the CS I used, but the brighter blue just looked better so I had to be a rebel ;)!
For Rose Red, do Cocoa's ears and cheeks count ;)?
This card is also for this week's Crazy 4 Cocoa challenge to use ric rac.
Thanks for looking!
Inky hugs,
Korin

I love your improvisation, Korin. I am in the same boat with you. No more SU for me. LOVE your little mouse, love your coloring, layout and the papers you picked! Great card.
Hugs and smiles

Many of us had to do those improvisions. I looked for a design paper that made use of similar colors. Mine is a stretch too. I love this cute image.

Love your coloring on Cocoa and the birthday hat, Korin, it's such a vibrant and colorful card - and that little hint of rose pink is so cute!! I had to improvise my blue and ended up way too light - but hey, we bring variety to the gallery!!
