I am hosting this week's color challenge with Pebbled Path, Lost Lagoon and Wild Wheat. Dessert is to add a border.
I've been using Pebbled Path quite a bit lately. Here it is great for giving a bit of a distressed look to both my embossing and lending emphasis to the detail from the daisy dies. My border is the quietest spot on this rather busy card - it's to give your eyes a rest!
I hope that you can play along with us this week. It would be so fun to see your take on these colors. Though they are rather new use whatever you have that is close!

While I find these colors to be peaceful and even a bit solemn, you made them much more cheerful and happy with those wonderful daisies. I love how they play off your beautifully embossed blue panel. The border of white adds the perfect contrast as well as tying in the daisies to over palette. Awesome use of these colors and an awesome card.

Chris, what a perfect sample using these colors!! Love those daisies AND your beautiful embossed background!
I must admit, I was a tiny bit stumped for a while figuring out what to do as I didn't have the Lagoon or Pebble but I like a challenge and love how it turned out. Thanks so much for another successful color challenge!

You know I am always a big fan of your style. I love that little offset arrangement, the textured Lagoon panel and the pop of the daisies. The rustic jute trim seems just right to finish the card. Love this!
