My time zones got all messed up while I was in Alaska. I time my posts so that I can play along in a bunch of stamping challenges before they “expire.” I was all set to post my entry in last time’s Fab Friday sketch challenge when I realized the challenge had “expired” several hours earlier at 8AM Central time–not Alaska time. Oops. So this week, I’m playing early because I don’t want to miss out again–and because one of the colors in the challenge retires on Saturday and I want to get it in under the Stampin’ Up retirement wire!
The Fab Friday gang came up with a challenging combo for me. I’m pretty good when there are 3 colors, but add 1 or 2 more colors and I get a bit overwhelmed. Here’s what the gang came up with for their challenge (and I note that the design team did NOT have a whit of trouble with this–check out their awesome work!!)
And here’s what I came up with. The Summer Starfruit was my “challenge” color. I don’t know why my flowers look like Strawberry Slush–they’re really Crisp Cantaloupe. I think it’s the odd angle I’m shooting from since I can’t get all the way to my light source with all the junk in my room. You’ll have to take my word for it 😉

Kathy, What a fun take on the colors. Photos can be really, really tricky. We see what you are doing, though. 🙂 Thanks for playing along with the FabFri color challenge!
Your Summer Starfruit flower layers look great! I like the 2 banners at different angles too! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
