Our last Pals Paper Arts challenge was a sketch challenge, which means it's time for a new Color Challenge (PPA134) at PPA! For this challenge, we're using a Springtime-fresh color palette of Calypso Coral, Baja Breeze, and So Saffron! Calypso Coral looks darker in the photo of my card than it really is. It's a difficult color to photograph.
Using this combo was truly a challenge for me, as they are not colors I'm typically drawn to. However, I'm happy with the results of my clean and simple card and think I might just use these three colors again sometime! If you like my card, please leave me a comment! It's always great to hear what you think!
Get out of your comfort zone and take on the challenge! You're welcome to use any brand of papercrafting products or supplies! See what my fellow PPA Design Team members did with this pretty color trio by clicking here! Come play at PPA! I can't wait to see what you create!

I think this card is gorgeous! It's striking with those big bold stripes and the pop of the flower. Didn't look like you were challenged at all!

Margaret I think it's beautiful. love the zig-zag too (I mean..chevron). Add a bit of flare!
I too have trouble anything close to coral, but I'm really loving this color combo in all the DT forms. Each is So pretty and yet so different. Hugs

Love that color combo. Great job with the card-I love the chevron (very trendy! lol) and the flower looks amazing. I have that set but haven't used it yet-I may case this idea.
