Whooee! This card takes care of 3 challenges. I don't do that very often. You can find the sketch at Freshly Made. The colors come from Create with Connie & Mary and the challenge at the subscriber only site is to use some of the new Sizzix items in the new catty. I have to say this color combo was a bit of a challenge to me. I tried to get some pool party in there but didn't like the way it looked so decided to just let my pool party ink do the trick. I did highlight some of the stamped image with my blender brush and some island indigo ink. I used the new fancy fan embossing folder and the finishing touches edgelits. My stamped image comes from the World Treasures set. I just love it!
Thanks for stopping by!

What a CUTE Card! I love how your incorporated the two challenges together! I would have never thought of using that stamped image but it works perfectly!

That peacock is just so many fun, love the faux button! Thanks for playing along with the Color Challenge on Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
Carol this card is a home run--you knocked it out of the park. I really like the use of the Pool Party ink and it totally works with the card stock selections. The addition of the Big Shot texture and button is fabulous. I am so glad you joined both Create with Connie and Mary challenges this week. Smiles, Elizabeth

It's great when you can work several challenges together. Great job on the card. Love the color tones on the peacock and the textrues. Thanks for playing the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge this week!
You did a great job with the color challenge - I wasn't sure about the colors at first either - but then I ended up making a whole stack of cards for my convention swaps and used this color combination! I'm so glad you played along with us at Create with Connie & Mary!
