Today I made a card for MIM #64. Nichole Heady gave a fabulous tutorial on her creative process using color inspiration. This was one of my favorite MIM videos so far. Our challenge was to make a card using one of the color combinations on a free downloadable chart on Nichole's blog. If you would like to download the chart, here's a link.
I chose to work with the color combination of Pure Poppy, Raspberry Fizz, Royal Velvet, Summer Sunrise and Smokey Shadow.
They are such bright a cheery colors that just pop right off the page. Here's my card"

Cathy, this is just so beautiful and elegant! It is so nice to see that color combination on an actual card and you did an awesome job. I have really grown to love all of the butterflies that have become so popular. What a fabulous Mother's Day card.
Beautiful Mother's Day card, wonderful use of the palette.
Lovely use of the text background with the butterflies and the touch of texture with the dry embossing! You worked this color combo so well!
This is gorgeous! I love the butterflies stamped on the text paper, and the watercolor look that they have. What a wonderful use of the colors in the challenge!
Wow, Cathy, what a beauty! Great application of the challenge colors AND the rule of threes! Hard to imagine that you could pull off a CAS card using so many colors-but you certainly did!
