Mary is our Color Challenge Hostess this week, and she has given us a wonderful color combination of Crumb Cake, Real Red and Coastal Cabana, with Whisper White as a neutral. Her dessert option is inspired: Pick a theme from the Hope You Can Cling To challenges, and make your card to fit that challenge.
I have always loved Crumb Cake and Real Red together, and I was delighted to see how great they look with the addition of Coastal Cabana. I chose HYCCT1411, with a friendship theme. I love this old wheel from SU, and placed my favorite part in the center: "True Friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget." I dressed the card up with a fabric rose that I colored with my Real Red marker, cut some leaves with a die, and punched a couple of hearts from red glimmer paper for a little bling.
Please play along with us this week, and enjoy these beautiful colors as well as participation in the Hope You Can Cling To Challenges. The patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center really appreciate receiving these cards.

I am catching up with my gallery gazing and this card popped right out at me. I never make words the focal point of my cards...now I am wondering why. Your card looks tertific with the word panel as the main image highlighted by the adorable coastal cabana ribbon and red flower and heart. Right into my favs.
