A color & a sketch (and a hug around the neck?!)

Happy Monday! It's time for another Mojo Monday challenge and a brand new Raspberry Suite Color Challenge by Dawn McVey- her very first! Well, I combined the two just for fun, and fun it was! Here is the sketch as well as the color challenge which I took to be Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red.

I like to mix up the main panel in sketch challenges like this. To me it is so easy to just reach for white or vanilla without thinking and go from there, but the cards with some other color for that panel are the ones that often catch my eye... hence, the chocolate chip with stems from Embrace Life stamped in white ink.

I also used my new Eyelet border punch and the Beautiful Butterflies Die with the Big Shot. Also fairly new is the 5/16" jumbo white brad in the center of the butterfly.

The DSP that I used is from old pattern packs that were free hostess gifts in the past. The ribbon, you may recognize as the chocolate chip twill that was offered in a mini a while ago. I may not stray when it comes to using Stampin' Up! only products, but I can say that I use old & new, retired or not, together all the time. No wasting supplies or regrets here!

Well, thanks for stopping by! Oh HEY, don't forget to play along with the Diva's challenge from last week to WIN a PRIZE! Your odds are about 1 in 16 right now- that's not bad! We're choosing our winner tomorrow.

One more thing, there are 8 days left in Sale-a-Bration so be sure to get your orders placed ASAP if you want FREE STUFF! Your first on-line order of any amount now until April 30th (or while supplies last) will earn you a FREE Idea Book & Catalog.

OK, that's all.
