Rising to the Challenge...

This months Gold Star Ink team meeting card swap is to 'limit ourselves' to one color, one natural color, one stamp set and one embellishment ... limiting myself is never easy when it comes to designing a card I tend to go for the bling and the bang however I am pleased with how this challenge turned out ... one color was Coral and I opened for two tones of it Calypso and Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White for my neutral, one stamp set Six Sided Sampler and one embellishment is my ribbon ... I did sneak in the Hexagon Emboss folder in there ;)

Hope the ladies at the shoebox swap tonight love it as much as I do ~ cannot wait to see what they have to offer!
