Okay...you may be wondering how on earth this fits with the challenge presented this week? Well...wouldn't the concert hall look nice if it was decorated with some pretty flowers? I thought so too! I purchased this set at a garage sale last summer, and had not used it until today.
And...for all you colour challenge ladies...the close enough rule will just have to apply today. I did not own even one of the colours for this weeks challenge, but I used the handy-dandy colour chart I made to find the closest matching combination. The colour challenges save me SO MUCH TIME...I could spend hours sorting through all my stuff before I can decide what do to.
Lastly, I did 'double duty' while I was crafting and had everything out. One card is for Mother's Day, and one is for Polly who is recovering from a serious accident.
Thanks for looking!

so pretty love the blooms on this set-and how lucky to find it at a garage sale-the CC Team always encourages everyone to use whatever colors you have that are close to the challenge colors-we want everyone to be able to play along-we use SU color names because they are so familiar to everyone

Thank you for the lovely flowers for Polly. She loves flowers and gardens so this would be very fitting. I can set a bouquet sitting on her piano. She will love your card.

You did great with the colors! As Mary said, just use whatever you have that is the closest to the challenge colors. Your card is lovely. What a find, to get this set at a garage sale!
