I saw this morning's Splitcoast Color Challenge and walked away - definitely out of my comfort zone. But...there is a reason they are called challenges. So I decided to give it a try. I forced myself to fully embrace these colors (vs. finding subtle patterned papers that matched) and I also went for a bold use of the dessert option: summer!! Although I am happy with the final card, every decision and step of the way was painful!

You did a SUPER job with the color challenge colors, Kim. I agree, they were not the easiest, but you handled them very well to create this lovely card. Love your central image.
