Courtesy of Dawn Woleslagle and her new and improved color challenge, another swatch of breathtaking color to inspire!
And my take on the colors..... (I think I interpreted the teal a bit bright... but that's color for ya! Hope you don't mind!)
I had such a blast with these colors and stamps! I really let myself PLAY with images, texture and color... AND, I confess, I mixed a few of Dawn's WPLUS9 stamp sets to optimize my greetings.... {Fun! Fun! Fun!} Additionally, I exercised the "poymer-tunity" of flipping the owl image onto it's back side and used the non-detailed image to create a mirror shape that I used in "Pinky" owl's thought balloon... THAT'S a cool feature of clear stamps, indeed! ALSO, check out that scrumptious teal ribbon, from PRACTICING CREATIVITY! Yummmmy! {I recently received my stamps and ribbon from Courtney ~so promptly!~ and can't wait to play with that, as well!}
I made TWO cards with this scrumptious palette, because IT WAS THAT FUN! hee hee
What great colors to welcome SPRING! I sure hope you'll grab some time to play along with Dawn's latest Color Cue... There is much excitement on her cute blog with many more fantastic examples of color possibility over there, featuring Dawn's own, gorgeous work and the MIGHTY paper-crafting talents of Savitri and Maile, so check 'em, gals! It's good, clean fun and wonderful inspiration!

I love the thoughts conveyed on the first card, with the owl thinking of the other owl! Too cute! I also love the way you combined twill and polka dot ribbon to make that adorable little bow!! I love teal, and it can never be too bright for me! Nice job on both cards :)
