For a color challenge-TOO LATE

We were up at my parents place for a few days, and while we were there, I asked my sisters if they wanted to make some cards with me. I brought some of my stuff and along with all the stuff my mom has we were able to have some fun!! My intention was to make a card for Dawn's recent color challenge she had up. So we were up VERY late Monday night working on cards. I tried convincing my two younger sisters to make a card for the challenge too, but they didn't want to. So I went ahead and tried making one. And when I say "tried" I mean that it was very hard for me trying to come up with something I liked using these colors. It WAS a challenge for me. I'm not totally sure, maybe just trying to incorporate the red into the color mix was a challenge for me. The colors were: bright pink, celery/moss, cream, and dark red. The end result wasn't pleasing me. And even though I'm not crazy about this card, I was going to enter it anyway. However, I didn't take a picture of it the next day (just kept getting caught up doing other things throughout the day). I took the kids down to the pool to swim, and we decided to stay an extra night at my parents. I also ended up making dinner for everyone. So I missed the deadline for the challenge. Anyway, there will be more and I guess it's just as well since I wasn't too happy with my card I made. But thought I'd share it on here for your viewing. Leave a comment, let me know what your thoughts on it are! ;-)

P.S. Eating homemade vanilla ice cream while posting, ***DELISH!!!***

  5. Oh, and thanks for stopping by my blog! I just read your other comment (about the milk cartons). I got the template from Papertrey Ink. They have a bunch of fun templates that you can download for $5 and use as many times as you want. They're super simple (which is good because I am TERRIBLE at assembling things).

    I love, love, love my Verve stamps. May be my favorites out there. They are clear stamps (like PTI).
