It's a new Colour Challenge over at The Outlawz

It is Colour Challenge time again over at The Outlawz. 

As you may know I was recently asked to be on the 

Design Team for the Colour Challenge Group. 

Each week one of the Design Team gets to choose the colour palette and twist. 

This week was my turn and below is what I came up with. 

I loved the soft colours of these roses  - a perfect colour combination.

Of course there is always a twist and I love layering  - so there too is my Twist.

Again our generous sponsor is

Here is what I made

I used a creamy pearl paper throughout embossing the background and sponging in pink and apricot ink for the first layer. The second layer I used a MS punch attaching my own apricot ribbon to it - second layer then added one of my favourite Spellbinder dies - the poinsettia cut out with mottled dp. 

The leaves are also from the cream card stock - more layers. 

Added a bit of glitter with a gel pen to the centres of the flower and leaves 

and finished off with a pearl brad and a tag with sentiment from GinaK

Hope you get a chance to pop over to The Outlawz and check out all the

 different challenges there - one for every day of the week 

and also see what the other talented Ladies from the 

Colour Challenge have made for inspiration. 

Thanks for popping in to see my work. I  appreciate you taking the time to do so.
