CC584 - These are the closest colors I could get as I don't have Crushed Curry or Watermelon Wonder. I started by sponging my background - that is the most sponging I have ever done! Using the multi-step stamp system, I created the butterfly. The dessert for the color challenge was green. I thought the colors needed a dark anchor so I chose this dark green - from my stash so I'm not sure what color it is). I punched the leaves from the same green. Sponged around the window frame, stamped a flower in each of the colors, put a pearl in the middle, and popped them up with foam dots. My DD pronounced the card good though she noted this isn't my usual color scheme! TFL.

Catherine, I applaud you for being able to use the necessary 3 circles/flowers on the SC. Love how you used your ribbon for 2 of the strips. totally artistic and pleasing to the eye. You did great on these 2 challenges.

Lovely card for both challenges. So wise to choose the dark green to enhance the bright colors of the CC. Your bg and butterfly are both so beautifully done.

Wonderful. Lovely sponging. The butterfly, flowers & leaves arrangement is so pretty. The dark green does provide a nice contrast. The ribbon is a beautiful touch. I like the colors for a sympathy card, as I like to give ones in the brighter shades in honor of a life worth celebrating. Well done! TFS
