Good morning, Friends! It's Thursday again and time for another Create with Connie and Mary challenge! This week we are being challenged with colors. Take a look at these most fabulous colors!! 

Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar are the totally awesome colors that we are to work with! I love these colors together!! So retro and fun! Here's what I created...

My card is pretty simple and I tried to keep the retro feel in the design. Here are the details…

• Card base is Whisper White
• Adhere a strip of Tangerine Tango that was run through the Big Shot with the Decorative Dots embossing folder
• Round the top of a piece of Coastal Cabana card stock with the 2 1/2" circle punch and flag the bottom
• Stamp the chevron/arrow stamp image from Petal Parade in Coastal Cabana onto the Coastal Cabana tag
• Punch a circle from Tangerine Tango using the 1/2" circle punch and adhere to tag
• Punch a hole for the glimmer brad then adhere tag to card with dimensionals
• Stamp greeting from Four You in Baked Brown Sugar onto a strip of Whisper White and flag one end then adhere to card

Good morning, Friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! Not too much happening around here. I did manage to get my quilt quilted. Now it's ready for the binding! Maybe I will feel ambitious and get that ready today? We'll see!! My ear is plugged up and I have a really hard time getting motivated for anything when that happens - ugh!! 

Today's card was inspired by the sketch at My Favorite Things. I didn't add all the elements as I had a hard time making it all work together so I stopped here. Card details…

• Card base is Whisper White
• Stamp the image from Petal Parade in Sahara Sand onto Sahara Sand and then adhere layer to a piece of Basic Black
• Run a strip of Summer Starfruit through the Big Shot using the Decorative Dots embossing folder and adhere to panel then adhere to card base with dimensionals
• Stamp the greeting from Four You in black StazOn
• Stamp the flower image from Petal Parade over the greeting in Summer Starfruit (Note: I did stamp off before stamping onto my card stock)
• Punch greeting out using the 1 3/4" circle punch then adhere to card with dimensionals
• Flag the end of a strip of Basic Black and adhere to card
• Adhere a cork flower from the Sweet Sorbet accessory pack to card
• Add a Basic Black candy dot to flower center

And there you have it! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
