Can you believe that this is the first time I've actually gotten to try a color challenge by Kristina Werner??!! Well, it is. Her blog is one of my favorites and I check out the color challenge every week but I just never seem to be able to get the idea, make the card, and upload it in time.
Well, tonight I saw the colors for challenge #39 and I just HAD to give this one a go!!
So, if you can't read the colors, they are...basic black, real red, so saffron, whisper white, and green galore (or another green). Well, I stayed true to the colors. And don't you LOVE that picture!!
I started out with these awesome flowers from the Garden of Life set by Papertrey Ink. I had stamped them onto black cardstock with white craft ink! Cut them out using my coluzzle. Then, I wanted to use panels of the colors. I cut each color to size, then doodled around each one...one of my all time favorite things to do!! Then, added the circled flowers and a sentiment. Finished it off with some black and white gingham ribbon! I kinda like it!! I wonder what it would have looked like on a black card base instead of white??? Mmmmm, might need to give that a try!
Supplies: Stamps-Garden of Life (Papertrey Ink); Ink-Basic Black, Whisper White (Stampin' Up!); Paper-Whisper White, Basic Black, So Saffron, Real Red, Green Galore (all Stampin' Up!); other-coluzzle, black pen (Zig), black and white gingham ribbon (Stampin' Up!).
Well, it was fun finally being able to try one of Kristina's challenges!! Hope you enjoy!

What a really nice card, Donelda! I love how you used three different colored panels for the background, and I really like how they stand out against the white card base.
Great work on the color inspiration challenge!
Very cute!!! Love your three panel idea!!
Awesome card! I love it!
Good job! what a beautiful card. Makes me sad that papertrey costs an arm and a leg AND another extra $ to ship to Canada.
