Celebrating You

There's a brand spanking new challenge site that has just started, by the incredible Lesley Croghan., creator of Paper Players, Freshly Made Sketches and now .... Dynamic Duo's!  It's a colour challenge using two colours, plus a neutral is welcome ... interested?  Curios? ... you gotta check it out here.

So, of course I had to commemorate the occasion by creating a card utilising the challenge colours of:
Pool Party and Lucky Limeade ... mmmm, these colours are scrumptious ....

On my PP panel, I dry embossed, on the LL panel I heat embossed (clear) using the Hero Arts Large Fabric Design stamp and finally the sentiment was white embossed using a Nina B Design by Crafts Meow.
And I put this together using the sketch from Retro Sketches:
Oh, and Simon Says is having an "Anything Birthday Goes ....", so I have it in at Simon Says!

Whew ...I had great fun using these colours and this sketch, why not join in the fun too!!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
