Here's my card for the color challenge! The original sample used Taken with Teal but Emily said Tempting Turquoise for the challenge, so I did TT. I think it woulda looked really good with TWT too. I was happy to do this challenge because I hardly ever use Kraft cardstock...I want to do another birthday card with red, black, and kraft.
I'm on a mission to do all the CC's and SC's, so I knocked out two here, CC153 and SC08. I loooove Happy Everything, I swear, I use that set for every birthday card I make Ok, sometimes I use It's Your Birthday instead. I put some little gem doodads in the centers of the flowers. This will go to my former boss in NC for her birthday, she'll really like the bright colors.
At first I was going to stamp Paisley on the kraft piece with TT ink, but I didn't want to cover up so much of it so I did the swirls and tiny flowers instead. I almost had a fit when I saw I'd put a big ol' black fingerprint on the kraft piece, but luckily one of the squares just covers it!
