I doubted IÂ’d be able to pull these colors together. Thanks, Emily, for encouraging us to work outside our color-comfort zone.
For the sketch challenge: yes, even with the Cameo Coral mat panel #4 is within the 1.5-inch guideline.
For the Color Challenge: you might be thinking, hmmm, whereÂ’s the Creamy Caramel and the answer is, *itÂ’s the card base, itÂ’s the fine lines in the designer paper and itÂ’s sponged on the edges of the DP.*
For the Limited Supply Challenge: the flower requirement is met in the embossing, the DP and the primas. IÂ’m normally a less-is-more person when it comes to embellies but this challenge is working; I used the never-used-beforeValentine clip (the heartÂ’s hidden by the ribbon), Dollar Spot brads in the corners, stacked some primas (first time IÂ’ve used primas!) and attached them with office brads I experimentally embossed with a Mellow Moss-ish green a long time ago and then never used.
If I ever make another one of these, I would leave the top corner un-punched and un-bradded. It drags the eye away from the focal flow too much; thus, the draped ribbon for the photo.

You have made it so completely in this week's color challenge. Wow, a master of colors, that's what you are. I am on the verge of trying... Not sure I have all the colors, but this could be used as an example for me. Thank you for sharing and thanks for posting my work. Great great work.

This is just beautiful! The primas look great and I love the dotted swiss layer.
