I don't have those colors. (sigh) Or even any that are very close...so, you ladies have a great color challenge today, and I will live vicariously through you. Hopefully, I will be ordering lots of stuff soon.

For those of you who are against the very idea of blush blossom (it's not one I use regularly either), here's a card in my gallery that uses these three colors.
Here is my contribution. I tell you people, you are really contributing to the serious neglect of my DS and DD. Good thing they're old enough to feed themselves! Now that this is done, I can start my day!!!
Well... here it is. A made a couple of cheats with this color challenge. First, although I have always artichoke CS from a new color sampling from my demo, I had to use mellow moss ink. Second, since it was an autumn card, I thought it really needed a touch of more mustard.
Well, I found a little artichoke left from a workshop here at the house :-) Here is my card: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Sorry y'all - for some reason it's still pending @ 3:30 CDT
At first I was drawn to using a flower set with this challenge but the "little truck" kept calling me from the drawer. I just had to use it for this even though the set has been used so much. I thought the trees and hills made a nice little "Loads of Love" scene.
Here is my card for the CC21 challenge. This was fun. I would not have thought to use these colors together, it's the beauty of these challenges to get you thinking outside the box.

I searched for matching mulberry paper, but alas, found none in my vast store of horded specialty paper. So I took some white tissue paper, the artichoke reinker, and a water misting bottle. after I added the ink and the water I crumpled it up, rolled it around in my fingers (hope the ink washes off), and then carefully unwadded it and dried it with my heat tool. I will probably never buy mulberry paper again!

I had time for this one, since I needed to make a thank you for texasjodylynn to send with my very late package of vsn goodies. I used Ancient Asia and made it a pocket card. I am not sure if I like the decorative scissors or not, oh well:
This is my card for this weeks color challenge. I've been meaning to try this set, Flower Garden, and thought those colors would look nice. I haven't made a sympathy card yet, so I figured it would work. It could be for a sympath card or just thinking of you.
What a great color challenge this was! I have to admit, when I read it the first time, it didn't sound that good to me. But I wanted to try it and I LOVE it! I don't think I have ever used Blush Blossom before this. Thanks so much Kimberly for the inspiration!
Here are mine:
These are the *perfect* colours for retro-style Christmas cards. Unfortunately, I don't have the right stamps to carry it off.
It's also very Dr. Suess (or any other 1960s book that used 2-colour production).
Fun combination!

Here is my card,,,,,, I was really limited because I didnt have any Artichoke paper so had to use my Ink Spot for the stamping part. I did stay exactly with the color challenge and didnt even use white or another neutral...

My color challenge for the week. I really liked the blush blossom with the ruby red. The artichoke was a nice contrast. I would not have thought of adding the artichoke. The color is the starting point for all my cards, so the CC really gives me a great start on a card. Thanks again, Nancy
Is any one else having trouble uploading a card. I can not get my cards to upload. Can any one help. Every time I hit upload it takes me to page to enter info about card. Then when I hit process it says web site not responding. HELP I have cards I would like to add to challenge.
