SUper Friends April Color Challenge Swap

Hello!  For our April swap, my SUper Friends group decided to do a color challenge.  The colors chosen (thanks, Judy!!!) were Basic White, Magenta Madness, Fresh Freesia, Soft Sea Foam, and Granny Apple Green.  This was a fun combination!   

For her gorgeous card, Judy-Ann picked the Happiness Abounds Stamp set and Blossoming Happiness Dies (available in a bundle, though as of the time this is published, the dies and bundle are temporarily unavailable).  She colored the stamped and die cut images with Blends and used the intricate die cut to create a soft and pretty background behind the flowers: 

Connie S. chose the Color and Contour stamp set for her card, and I love the way she used the Scalloped Contours Dies to create some lovely background layers for her pretty flowers.  The bow and brass butterfly provide the perfect finishing touches as well:

Cathy's lovely card is a tri-fold with a peek a boo window for the greeting!  The beautiful butterflies are created with the Brilliant Wings Dies and small butterfly punch.

 Kallien's stunning card features the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and Strawberry Builder Punch.  The white embossing on the strawberry really shows it off beautifully, and it is a little hard to see in the photo but there is some wonderful texture on the background as well as sparkle from the Genial Gems Kallien added as a finishing touch:

Connie M.'s eye-catching card masterfully combines flowers from the Color and Contour set with leaves from the Artistically Inked set, greeting from Dragonfly Dreams, and Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper in a really fun layout: 

Margery's awesomely creative card uses this color combo to create a fantastic nautical scene, featuring the Let's Sail Set and Gentle Waves Background Stamps, along with the Layering Diorama dies and Subtle Texture Embossing Folder:

  

For my card, I also used the Happiness Abounds Bundle.  My card opens to reveal a surprise inside -- it is a W Fold card!  (I followed this tutorial by Jackie Bolhuis of Klompenstampers to create my card):

Thanks to the SUper Friends for these wonderful cards!  And, thank you for visiting my blog -- I hope these cards will inspire you to try out this color combination!
