Today Chris chose Melon Mambo, Mango Melody and Granny Apple green for the color challenge. For dessert she added any blue. Thanks, Chris.
In searching for the challenge papers I found scraps of white, melon and mango large enough to build some kind of a card. I challenged myself to create something using them so that I did not have to cut into a full sheet of paper. Thus, I had to stagger my focal layer on two other scraps. That left me with a big area at the bottom screaming for something to fill it. Ribbon to the rescue.

You used your scraps brilliantly and the ribbon looks like it was planned all along instead of a rescue. Your young butterfly chaser is adorable and your colored her beautifully. I love the garden you created for her to chase her pals. Such a happy card in these colors. Adorable.

Super cute! Fun and sweet scene of the girl catching butterflies. Wonderful idea for the challenge colors. I like how you challenged yourself to use the cardstock pieces you had on hand. What a great layout you came up with. The ribbon was a nice touch.

Penni you did super on both challenges, your own and Chris'! Love your sweet little gal catching butterflies among all the pretty flowers! Ribbon is a perfect filler and it looks awesome here! TFS

I love it when cards start with an idea and morph into a finished design! I love how you added the ribbon at the bottom to fill it in--looks like you planned it that way all along! Cute image, beautifully colored!
