Color Challenged

As you know from some of my previous posts, I'm color challenged.  I take the easy route and just use the colors that Stampin' Up! uses in their designer series paper.  I figure I can't go wrong that way.  I usually skip most color challenges unless they're colors I've already worked with together.  This week, however, I was really drawn to this color challenge posted on the Verve blog.



I'm not sure what I was thinking--five different colors!  Well, I decided to give it a try using this Mojo sketch by Julee.



Check it out, I did it!!!



All five colors are there plus two neutrals.  I think that's a record for me.  If you click on the photo, you'll see it enlarged.  The Pumpkin Pie, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, and Soft Sky pieces are all Prints Designer Series Papers.  I used the same pattern on each of those pieces--the little white flowers.



I stamped the flower image from "Close as a Memory" on Shimmery White cardstock.  I love the way it shimmers and sparkles.  I stamped the flowers again on another piece of Shimmery White cardstock and cut each flower out and popped them up on a dimensional.

I used a piece of the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware for my sentiment.  This is my first time using it and I really like the color.  I finished my card with two colors of Taffeta ribbon, paper piercing, and lots of dimensionals. 

If you've made it this far in my post, I wanted to mention that I have some blog candy coming in the next day or two.  By this weekend I will have had over 200,000 hits on my blog.  Thank you for coming to visit me and for leaving me comments.  I truly appreciate it.  ~Dannie
