Hello everyone and welcome to a new Utah Divas International Color Challenge! I don't know about you but I am declaring the end to winter weather (I know, lots of luck with that!). The past few days have been beautiful here in Central Illinois -- it's nearly 60 degrees here right now. I am ready for spring!
And to help us get there, look at this beautiful bedding set that serves as the inspiration for this week's color challenge using the colors of Melon Mambo, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White. Talk about spring fever ...
To add a little interest and something different to the background of my card, I cut the Jumbo Ric Rac Shape from the Tasteful Trims Die using the Big Shot and Melon Mambo Cardstock. I inked the edges with Melon Mambo, adhered it to a Certainly Celery background and then smashed the whole thing together with the Square Lattice Impressions Folder and the Embedded Embossing Technique. I just love this look!
Stamp sets include Crazy for Cupcakes and Perfect Punches. Other accessories include the Wide Oval Punch, sponges, Stampin' Dimensionals and Chunky Pink Glitter (retired, sorry!). It's a quick and fun birthday card, perfect for just about any age!
Be sure to check out the other Design Team projects for this week's color challenge at Utah Divas International! We hope you'll be so inspired that you want to play along with us!
Check back soon for more ideas and inspiration! Thanks for stopping!
I love love love this card Gretchen! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I love the way you used that particular "tasteful trim" design. I've never used it, but I will now. It would be a great element for a masculine card. Thanks!
