Morning! Don't fall off your computer chair... being I'm posting a card this quick. Even the AM hours... WOW'za! Lately it's been a couple days between posting. Last night I went back into my craft room to try (last weeks) OCC Sketch and Kwerner Designs Color Inspiration #14 Challenges. Can you believe I tackled 2 challenges in one... I'm on a roll! :) When I seen the OCC sketch I though to using my SU! Echoes of Kindness set and my new "Lots of Labels" dies. (LOVE those!) The sentiment is white embossed and added silver pearls. The flower image is stamped on watercolor paper and black embossed. Then taking my Ruby Red marker and aqua painter to color in. And I had to add the butterflies with some Stickles! CUTE :)
I attached the color inspiration info. I found this color challenge on Shelley's Stampin' Garden blog... Shelley has such cute card ideas! Pop in for a visit!! This was a challenge from July, 2008! Click on the photo's for a closer look. I like the look of the colors as it has an Asian feel... very calm and relaxing to me! Perfect to start a Saturday. I plan to stamp this afternoon again... Enjoy!! Chat more with you soon stampin' friends... Remember to STAMP AND SMILE!

River rock is one of my fave SU colors. I like it with the other colors from the challenge combo. Such a cool layout too. Good job on combining two challenges.
Absolutely stunning card Michelle, wow the colours are so perfect for the gorgeous image - really makes it pop x
It's great to see I'm not the only one who keeps colour challenges - I have a file of swatches for inspiration!
You've done a fabulous job with botj these challenges - you sure are on a creative roll - everything you're doing is fabulous!!

Oh, oh, oh! How beautiful is this!!! That color combo is a winner... you used it perfectly. I love the watercoloring you did on the image. I think I'm going to teach that technique at Stamp Club this month.
Stay on that roll, girl! You've got it going on, as usual!
Hugs,
