Aren't this week's colors fun -- so tropical and happy. I immediately thought coastal, flowers, tropical island, pineapples; but, after visiting my favorite inspiration site for colors, I landed on hummingbird. It was this cute guy that inspired me: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/617415430159140374/
For my card, I die cut the hummer in white, colored with COPICS and assembled. This is a very easy die to assemble. I wanted a fun whimsical bg, so I channeled our own fabulous Ardyth who does amazing ink blended bgs. (Here's a link to her Gallery if you aren't familiar with her work: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers) Using the flower die cut as a stencil, I ink blended horizonal stripes of my most approximate colors and then Nuvo drops to the flower centers. Added the big scallop frame, which is stacked three times, and a thank you strip and it's done.
Despite how my card ended up, these colors did transport me to a sunny tropical (I"m thinking Caribbean) shore. I hope you will join us this week and be equally transported and inspired. TFL

Beautiful card with the chosen color palette for the challenge. I like how you use them full strength and created a lovely design in the background for the pretty hummingbird is the focal point.
