For today's color challenge, to use pink pirouette, real red, and pear pizzazz. I had to substitute on all of these, but I think I got pretty close. I went with SU certainly celery, which is a bit lighter than pear pizzazz on the scalloped frame, and a shade darker (with MFP Spring Leaf) on the card base.
--FTTC88, to use ink and edge distressing. If you look carefully, you can see one or the other or both on most all of my layers.
--FLLCNOEL6, Flourishes' October Christmas Spirit Challenge, which is 1 stamp, 2 looks! Basically the idea is to take one Flourishes Christmas stamp and use it to design two different cards with completely different looks. This amaryllis stamp I have from Flourishes Calendar Set 3 is the only Flourishes Christmas-y stamp I have, so this challenge really appealed to me!! I did the first part of this challenge yesterday with THIS amaryllis card.
Thanks a bunch for taking a look!

Love your sketch, your use of dsps, your interpretation of the color challenge, and I especially love that sweet corner treatment in the upper left to keep it all in balance. Blessings, Lela
