Color Crazy at the 4 Crafty Chicks!


Welcome everyone!  I am so excited about this week's 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge because, as many of you know, a COLOR challenge is my favorite-est kind of challenge.  Lori is our hostess with the mostest and take a lookie-loo at what she came up with for us all to play with:
Don't those colors scream "FUN!!!"???  When I first saw the colors I didn't think it would be a difficult combo to put together but when I finally sat down to make my card.... well, let's just say it *wasn't* easy.  First I had too much Melon Mambo, then too much Pear Pizzazz then not enough white space... ACK!  I finally finished with something that I don't think is *horrible* - my mojo must have needed a brief vacation that day.  ;)  I used the wonderful Mojo Monday sketch from Debbie but made mine a square to accommodate the size of the flower I used:



Stamps: Every Season Plain Jane (Verve)  Ink: Tangerine Tango  Paper: Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White  Accessories: Scallop border punch, adhesive pearls, paper piercer, Swiss Dots EF, baker's twine (TCP), Paper Rosette die (Tim Holtz), button, corner rounder, Sweetest Stem embosslit (SU!)

I hope you are enjoying your week - it has been raining and gloomy for  most of the week here so hopefully the sun will come out again soon.  If you have time to play along with Lori's fun color combo this week, make sure you link it up for us.  Have fun!!!
