This is my sample for CC838. LeAnn is our hostess and she chose basic white, basic black and basic gray for her color trio. Dessert option this week is your favorite color.
So I interpreted this color combination in a different way. One of my fave colors right now is purple and I love the 3 Stampin'-Up purple shades. So I put the dessert option front and center and used 3 shades of purple. I still used the white, black and gray but in a scaled down manner.
My card started with the layout and I used the MojoMonday#556.
My background designer paper (purple posy) is from the Stampin'-Up "playing with patterns" collection. I also used the Stampin'-Up gingham gala (highland heather) designer paper for the long rectangle layer.
I embossed the center panel (gorgeous grape) with the Stampin'-Up greenery embossing folder. For my image panel I used the cute little fox from the CottageCutz "Spring Tea Party" die. I cut her in smoky slate and basic gray. Her nose and eyes are in black. So that covers the main color trio.
I added some purple flowers in her hair and scattered a few gorgeous grape rhinestones. The sentiment is from the Stampin'-Up set "a nice cuppa".
This will go to my friend for Mother's Day. She loves tea and teacups.

Glad to see creativity front and center. Yes, you met the challenge but in your own way and it turned out great. I want to reach for shades of violet in the spring but when you bring in that adorable fox with a teacup you really got me. Super wonderful, Mary.
