Thank you Karen for being our delightful hostess for Color Challenge #856! Karen's color palette is a bright and colorful one, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, and Flirty Flamingo with the dessert option 'Anything Goes'!
My slimline card features using the smallest rectangle die from Stitched Rectangles, cutting multiples of each color to create a colorful paneled background of rectangles. I think by selecting a black matte for the colorful panel helps bring even more brightness to each color! The sentiment was stacked four times to provide dimension along with a popped circle at the end. The matte black dots provide the perfect accent for this cheerful design.
We, the design team invite you to jump on the band wagon and play along using Karen's colors! I know we'll all be inspired by seeing your take on the challenge! Thanks for taking a look!

Oh LeAnn, how cool is that??? This makes me think of a xylaphone - those toys with the metal bars of bright color and you hit them with a little hammer thing and make music.....so pretty!!! The black accents play into my interpretation of your sweet card!!! Thanks for your help tonite friend!!

Boy has this set been on my mind! I love your happy rectangle backdrop for your chocolate - it kind of makes me think of a xylophone - and it's such an effective treatment for a slimline card.

Oh my gosh, this card goes right into my favorites! I adore the way you created all the strips and how you arranged them. And the black background really makes them pop! I will be CASEing this idea for sure! It's super!

Outstanding design .... love those colored stitched rectangles and how they pop against your black background! Your stacked sentiment die cuts are the perfect touch!
