Next up is the Creative Belli Challenge. This weeks challenge is a Color Challenge!!! We picked 3 of our favorite colors for Spring!!! They are Stampin Up's colors Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery and Cameo Coral. If you are not a Stampin Up color person, I am posting a color palette for your to compare your colors to and use your closest colors!!!



Here is my card I made using these beautiful colors:



I pulled this lotus flower out of my rather large stash of ALL TIME FAVORITE stamps collection. It's from a Stampin Up set called Oriental Garden. The words are from a current Stampin Up set called Bella's Bloom.
