A REAL challenge

Here are the colors that we are to work with over at the Play Date Cafe: light pink, red, burgundy, light blue and bright blue.

 I was all over the place with this one; I tried coloring an image using the colors, and even tried to use the photograph as a kind of sketch.......disasters!  Finally I decided to try and simplify the patterns as much as possible and this is what I came up with.

I used light pink, light blue and burgundy cardstock.  The Houndstooth pattern was stamped in Cranberry ink on the light pink (and also on the sentiment - see how different the color looks when stamped over a different color!), and in Deep Lagoon on the light blue. These were trimmed nto squares and framed up with the burgundy cardstock.  Then I embossed the butterfly on burgundy with pale pink embossing powder, trimmed it out, and popped it above the panel.  My colors aren't reading true - that pale pink embossing looks white, and the burgundy looks brown. 

Supplies:  light pink, light blue, burgundy cardstock, Hero Arts K5175 Houndstooth, E5388 Traditional Butterfly, CL380 Truly Appreciated (sentiment), Adirondack Cranberry, Versafine Deep Lagoon, and Versamark inks, pale pink and clear embossing powders
