I always struggle with the color challenges...but thats part of the "challenge" right? I always go overboard and use too much color. I tried to use the colors as an accent this time, and Im happier with the result. Maybe color challenges wont be as nerve racking for me any more!
I used my sizzix envelope die, the leaf sizzix die and a flower cb die for my pocket of flowers. The WW is embossed with the stylized flowers folder.
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

Oh, yes, this definitely works! This card is gorgeous.... it uses the colors from the challenge beautifully, and I love that you used kraft as your neutral. Very unique, very clever, love it!

Charming! Yes, you figured out the secret to making this challenge work! It's all in the proportions of color you use. I like your little "flower box." Sweet!
