Sigh. I am a cheater's cheater. As a Teapotter, cheating is quite socially acceptable, but in the classy world of Karen Barber's color challenge it is quite another thing...
This week our cards are going to Tyler, an 8 year old boy in Wisconsin who recently had heart surgery. For details and to play along, hop on over to the Teaparty: MMTPT267 ~Oh Freddy start croakin', Rick's heart will be broken!~ by momof5sons at Splitcoaststampers
I stamped & applied the GA on this card, punched some red hearts and cut the black denim pocket on Sunday, sure that I could get it done on Monday night in time to post. Alas, when we got home from DS's home at 11:30 (after watching Monday night football) I was too exhausted to finish it. Lo and Behold this morning I discovered that the swanky Karen posted a delightful color combination that I could incorporate. I colored the black denim with Copic B19 to get a darker blue, found this ruched Muse-colored paper in me stash and cut a scalloped (dessert!) Strawberry heart instead. Cheater. PC generated and punched the sentiment. PT - 3
I {heart} you and your wonderful combinations, Karen. Thank you all for looking and have a peaceful day.

Oh wow Marie, this is terrific. I don't think you should think of combining challenges as cheating, but more as multi-tasking. It was pure genius (and very effective) to colour the pocket with Copics. I love everything about this and Tyler is sure in for a great Teaparty.

so cute! I really don't see any cheating going on here!!! I think you are ingenious...any time we can catch two squirrels with one nut, why not? Great card and Tyler will love it I'm sure...he probably knows exactly what it's like to have a frog climbing out of his pocket!!
