I'm so happy to have been asked to be a guest designer for the Color Challenges for April! This is one of the cards I created for CC472 to use Night of Navy, Old Olive, and Bermuda Bay, with dessert if you make a birthday card.
I don't have any of the Stampin' Up colors, but I have a computer, and a digital color swatch, so...
I have several digital background papers, and I thought this one would work great with the balloons and gift. I opened the background image and the color swatch in Photoshop, using the eyedropper tool to choose the colors from the color swatch and drop them into the background image with the paint bucket. After I colored the background paper I printed out squares of solid color to use when die cutting the balloons and gift. I adhered all of the pieces to the card front and brushed the balloons with Wink of Stella. The greeting was stamped with Distress Peacock Feathers and embossed with clear ep. I formed the banner and attached it with foam tape.
This was a fun card to make; I hope you like it! And as always, thanks for looking!
ETA: just realized this also meets the Free for All challenge this week to use circles in the background.

Congratulations on being guest designer! I've always loved your unique style. I love how this turned out, Jody and the fun use of those colors! Clever to get your color from Photoshop too!
