Happy Sunday, peeps! Christy is our hostess at the Paper Players this week and she has an awesome color challenge for us:
I admit that those hues gave me a bit of a pause at first! I needed a birthday card for one of my great-nephews who is turning four, so....four colors, four crayons, here we go:
I just got this fun crayon set from Spellbinders and had not had a chance to get it inky, so this was the perfect time! I hope Cole doesn't mind a "Strawberry Slush" crayon and think the color is too girly, LOL! I stamped and diecut each of the crayons out using the challenge colors, then added a sentiment from the same set and mounted everything on a polka-dot embossed mat:
I just love those cute little faces! A sentiment from Concord & 9th went on the inside:
This will be winging its way in a few days to the birthday boy! I know these colors are a bit challenging but check out what the Paper Players DT did with them to get some inspiration, then come play with us! We can't wait to see your creations! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

I think those crayons are just perfect for this color palette, I love it! How did I miss that on the Spellbinders site? I love their happy little faces and the white polka dot embossed background is a fun detail without taking attention away from the crayons. Thanks for making these colors look so fabulous and have a wonderful week!
I love the crayons! Adorable card!
Absolutely adorable, LeAnne! What a perfect way to use the challenge colors! The little faces, hands, and legs crack me up. The sentiment is the BEST. I LOVE the Crayola people and I know your great-nephew will too. Have a wonderful week!
I think it was a great way to use the colors, it's cute!
Super duper cute, with a great message. Love the polka dot embossing too as it reminds me of lego. Great card!
