I am incredibly honored to be invited as a guest designer for the color challenges this month.
At first I struggled with these colors. I don't often use pastels. After scrolling through Pinterest looking for inspiration I came up with an idea using embossing folders and ink rubbed on the raised surface. The Mint Macaron looks dark in the photo, but it is the color in the challenge. I had to use Rococo Rose for Polished Pink and I used Pale Plum for Purple Posy. I chose to use Memento Dandelion for the yellow.

Beautiful card. Love the rainbow of colors on the ef -- beautiful effect. That Spellbinders die is gorgeous and you finished everything beautifully with that great bow. Any friend who receiving this beauty will feel special, indeed.

Wonderful idea for the challenge colors! It was the perfect EF to use for this technique. Beautiful embellishments, especially the lace trim and ribbon and pearls. Fabulous inspiration!
