This is my card for 2 SCS challenges. This weekÂ’s CC552 that Peggy is hosting and also the HYCCT1510 that Barbara is hosting.
Color Challenge 552: pool party, pistachio pudding and sahara sand. Dessert is to use our favorite embellishment. At the moment my fave is die-cuts.
HYCCT1510: is to make a card with a tag on it.
Then I saw the Viva La Verve October week 2 sketch, and that is also using a tag. So thatÂ’s my card layout for this week.
My background dsp and the dsp in the circle are from the Stampin’-Up “gold soiree” collection. I layered that onto some gold cardstock. These colors are so subtle that I thought a darker neutral would work. So I chose gold. My card base is sahara sand.
My scalloped circle is a die from Spellbinders and the tag is from the MFT Tag Builder Blueprints 4. The sentiment is from the Marks Finest Papers “you are cherished” set. Stamped in soft suede ink.
To complete my card I die cut a fern in pistachio and added some pistachio hearts and a bit of pool party ribbon. This one will go off to the MD Andersen Cancer Center.
Hope you can play along in both challenges. We pick a favorite weekly for the color challenge and feature the card on our Pinterest board. Plus you may get selected to be a guest designer with us.
For the HYCCT challenges, you have the opportunity to send your cards to lift the spirits of women battling breast cancer. There are also prizes from some of our favorite crafty companies.

Mary, I love this card! You nailed the sketch challenge, and took these soft colors and made a stunninging card with them. I love the die-cut fern and the little hearts, but most of all that cute tag with the wonderful sentiment. Thanks for playing along in my HYCCT challenge.
