I am your color challenge hostess this week with some cooler colors: Pineapple Punch, Coastal Cabana and Basic Gray along with anything round for dessert. Let's see if these will cool you off!
I was thinking something cartoon-like with these colors and when I saw this cow with boots and a daisy I knew who would be featured on my card. This cow is stamped in Tuxedo Black and colored with a few Blends. I used Dark Pool Party and Light Bermuda Bay to get close to Coastal Cabana.
The greeting is embossed in white on Basic Gray.
I color blocked the challenge colors and ran them through the big shot with my Subtle embossing folder twice (turn it 90 degrees before the second pass) in order to get a textile like look for my background.
Thinking the daisy made this card a little feminine already, I added a bow, scalloped Smoky Slate border and glitter dots to finish it off.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I sure hope you find a little stamping time in your busy summer so that you can join us.

I agree with everyone that the color blocking was a great way to use these colors!! Your cow is cute and fun in the center circle. I also like the daisy and the Bermuda boots. You picked some challenging colors this week Chris and created a great card!! :>)

Oh, this is such a great layout and use of the colors. And I love that cow and his boots. He is smart wearing them, gotta look out for those cow pies (I am sorry - had to say it - lol).
