Happy New Year to you and yours! I hope the year is off to a great start for you! At Pals Paper Arts, we're hosting our first Color Challenge (PPA150) of the year, sporting a new look and some new changes to our challenges! Be sure to visit PPA to find out all the details!
We're using Basic Gray, Melon Mambo and Basic Black for this challenge! This is a great color combo for a birthday or even Valentine's Day! My birthday card features one of my favorite patterned papers from the Twitterpated DSP pack (love those hexagons) and a custom sentiment, courtesy of the Memorable Moments set. Clusters of birthday blossoms were created with various punches and add the perfect finishing touch to this clean and simple card!
Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think! I love hearing from you and welcome your questions and comments! It's your turn! We'll be choosing more winners for each challenge now, so get out those supplies and get busy! Need more inspiration? Visit PPA and see what the rest of the design team did with this fun color trio! I can't wait to see what you create!

Love it! Your color combinations are so great. I wanted you to know that I spent a couple of hours making "thank you" cards for my Christmas presents yesterday! I did cheat a bit, using some old packs that had pre-cut cards and some 3-D stickers, but I managed to stamp them really well using my "stamp-a-ma-jig"..now my best friend!
So excited that Donna gave me a gc from you!! I'll be looking around soon. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a very happy NY!

What a great card! The colors are beautiful. Melon Mambo is such a happy color... The gray and black set it off perfectly and just let it shine!!!
Thank you again for wonderful inspiration!

Margaret, this card is beautiful! That Twitterpated DSP is one of my favorites and it an unexpected but perfect pairing with that bright Melon Mambo! Fabulous! :)

I just realized I used the same dsp! I love the framelits and the little flowers on your card. I'll have to remember that stamp set for number cards - I love it!

Margaret, this card is awesome, love everything about it!!! Can you tell me if it is difficult to line up the numbers in this stamp set without using the stamp-a-ma-jig?? I am thinking of ordering this set as my birthday special stamp set, but have never used a stamp-a-ma-jig. Thanks!
