Aloha! While you are reading this greeting, I am enjoying a week in the sun on the Big Island of Hawaii. Through the wonders of the Internet I am able to host this challenge from afar!
This week's Color Challenge is Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Old Olive with the dessert option of using Layers--at least four of 'em! I used Bermuda Bay for the darkest layer of the flower, then Coastal Cabana for the middle step, and then Coastal Cabana, stamped off once, for the largest, lightest step. Likewise, I stamped the splotchy stem in Old Olive, then switched to the smooth stem stamp and stamped off once before stamping right over the first stem. I will say this stamp set has a bit of learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's quite fun and effective!
Love that Irresistibly Yours DS paper, too!
Thanks for looking, and please play along with us this week.

Gorgeous card! Such lovely tropical colours too. :-) I love the embossed background in white; it sets off the blues and greens so well. That's some virtuoso stamping lady! I love it!
