Hi again! Three posts in one day? I haven't had time to do that in a long time. Hopefully I will have more time to do that now that I am only working mornings... woohoo!
So, when I got home today I perused the blogs and came across this very, shall we say, *interesting*, color combination from the Play Date Cafe. When I first saw the picture I thought, "EWWWWWW!" But, what is a challenge if it's not a *challenge*?
I had to think long and hard about how I was going to incorporate all of the colors in one card and then I remembered Melissa Craig's Tuesday Morning Sketch and knew it would work:
Okie dokie - that's it for me today. It's almost suppertime and the eldest should be calling soon to be picked up from his volleyball game. Enjoy your evening - see you again soon!

so glad you gave this week's challenge a go! You did a marvelous job with the combination and we appreciate you 'taking the challenge'. I personally LOVE the photo and I agree the combo is one to get your creative juices flowing.
All is can is WOW, Melissa! You did a beautiful job with the sketch and that crazy color combo. Like you, reading the color list, I would've said "eeeeuuuuwwww" - but it's beautiful!! Thanks for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
Melissa, this is gorgeous. I can see that I chose the wrong color to emphasize. Your hot pink focus makes all the difference in the world in this highly unusual combination of colors.
How pretty, love the big blossom and your ribbon! Thanks for playing at the PDCC.
Oh this is gorgeous, and the colors really do work well with each other. Your card is a beautiful take on our sketch this week, thanks so much for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches
STUNNING...love the ribbon work and the embossed background...
See you next week at PDDC ...its gets rather additive trying to get the colours to work together....
Lovely card! I really like the way you've done the flower with the paper piercing and the ribbon looks fab! Thanks for playing along with us at the PDCC!
Such a beautiful card! The embossing is fabulous! Love the center with sentiment with pearl gems along the sides...love it all!!!
Wonderful dimension and super use of the colors this week! I love that sentiment and it goes perfectly in that fab flower! Thanks for playing along with us at the Play Date Cafe!
Great to have you playing along in the cafe :) Love your combination of the ruffled ribbon and the giant flower - great card design :)
Great job, I especially love the way you have attached the ribbon.
Have a lovely day!
