Colour Challenge

Happy Monday

Today at the Outlawz it is time for a new Greetings Card Challenge, the theme this week is "Melon Mango Month", go check out the stunning creations by the Design Team.

July 4th is only a few days away; and, since the celebration is all about independence and freedom, we have concocted our own little freedom scenario. This week, we do not have a sponsor, we do not have a guest designer, and we do not have to use RED, WHITE, and BLUE in our designs!  Instead, we have some fun colors that you can use 

ANYWAY YOU WISH!


My card today uses Justrite Stampers -Vintage Oval Labels 


I stamped the sentiment in SU Tangerine Tango and used Spellbinders M-bossabilities - Whimsy. The lace, flowers and butterfly are all MS punches

I look forward to seeing your entries
