MY FAV COLOUR!!!

During convention this year, my first convention, I won a prize patrol ad was so excited!!! I won a the beautifully baroque stamp, Embossing folder and Eastern Elegance DSP! I was so excited!!!

Today I was looking through Pinterest for some INSPIRATION and came across this beautiful card by Teneale Williams!(Click the picture to see her fantastic blog)

So I did my best to replicate it:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Crisp Cantaloupe! Its my second fav colour- second to Crumb Cake!

When I saw this weeks Dynamic Duo colour challenge I knew what I was going to do- Use Crumb Cake and Black to replicate this design AGAIN!

So here is my card! I LOVE it!!!

I like it better than my original- The colours work so well together.
