Thank you for allowing me to be your hostess for this week's color challenge CC844. I'm honored and thrilled for the opportunity. My color choices this week are out of the norm for me, I usually gravitate to the more bright and flamboyant colors but this week will be soft and subtle tones, Pool Party, So Saffron, and Mint Macaron with the dessert option: 'dots'.
My design is a simple one. The center of the card features one of the Hand-Penned Memories and More Cards. I feel it created a great backdrop for my focal point, the butterfly. My dessert option was made easy by using the Pool Party dotted background. The butterfly was colored using Mint Macaron, Pool Party, and So Saffron Stampin' Blends and the last delicate touch was added with the lace ribbon.
Please join the team and I in sharing your take on this week's challenge, we would love to see it!

The butterfly is certainly the star of this show, LeAnn! I love how you colored it, and the placement, too. The card is a great backdrop. Thanks for picking such a pretty combo for us to play with this week!

Thanks for choosing these great colors, LeAnn. I got really excited when I saw them. The butterfly on your card is quite stunning. It's a wonderful focal point -- my eyes go straight to it. The background goes perfectly with it. Very nice!
