Challenge #168 - Colours

Hello, Louise here. I will be your hostess through April, I hope you're going to enjoy the challenges. First up is a colour combo inspired by the beautiful spring flowers which seem to be bursting into life everywhere in the UK right now.

We've used Stampin' Up colour names for reference; however, you may use any companies' products for your cards as long as you match our colours as closely as possible. You may also use white, ivory, kraft, or black for your card base and layers, for image outlines, or for sentiments. However, in order to be considered for our weekly winners, you must not use any other colours.

By the way, thank you to all you intrepid crafters who entered our 'double' challenge last week. We will be posting the top picks after the weekend.

Here is some inspiration from the design team to get your creative juices flowing:
