I may have taken on too much with this card, but Mr. Big Shot was the tool of choice here. I used the Big Shot to die cut several flowers, leaves and top notes to help me complete this card.



I combined three challenges...the Pals Paper Arts flowers theme challenge #31, this fabulous sketch of Laura's (#49) at 2 Sketches 4 You...



and Arielle's cool color combo, the ColourQ Challenge #27 using Tangerine Tango, Night of Navy, Tempting Turquoise, Soft Suede & Whisper White...so preppy, don't you think?



What's super cool about these colors is that they will ALL be in the Color Collection in the upcoming 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog. We just found out that Tangerine Tango is an old In Color that Stampin' Up! will be bringing back to stay...pretty exciting for us SU demos:)

How yummy is this color combo from Arielle's Colour Q Challenge #16...Love it! There's a little background stamping on the partial Melon Mambo top note using the Razzle Dazzle stamp set. The greeting, which is difficult to read, is from the Well Scripted stamp set found in the Occasions mini.

Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #28 is up and running today with a fun square design. Kelly Jo has a yummy color combination to work with this week for the Color Chef Challenge #15. The colors for the challenge are Pink, Yellow, and White so I used Stampin' Up! Pixie Pink, So Saffron, and Whisper White with a little rock-n-roll action on the Razzle Dazzle image.

To rock-n-roll, simply ink up your image in your lightest oolor (So Saffron in the is case), then roll the edges in a different color (Pixie Pink). I also added a little Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the flowers of my images to give them a little sparkle.
