Color Challenge

Welcome!  Today begins another challenge at The House That Stamps Built blog.  It's a color challenge: Lemon, Lime, Aqua.  Color challenges are definitely a challenge for me.  I can mix two colors no problem, but add more than that and I just get a brain freeze.  : )  So, I've figured out that the best way to create with color is to go nice and CAS.  Here is my card:

My sentiment just did not want to cooperate for this card.  I had the butterflies all stamped and then stamped my sentiment.  A bit of ink smeared from the edge of the stamp and the "you" didn't stamp all the way.  I contemplated stamping a new panel, but I really liked how this one had come out.  So I got the brilliant idea to stamp the sentiment on a banner and just layer it over the messed up sentiment.  Genius, except when I stamped the sentiment, I must have double tapped it a bit because the end of it came out all blurry.  Arrgghh.  But as my very first SU! demonstrator (and friend) says, "That's why you have two sides of a paper"!  So, I flipped the banner over and tried again.  And this time it worked.  Phew!  And you would never have know unless I told you.  : )  Then, because I can't go completely CAS I added a couple rhinestones to eat butterfly in coordinating colors and the added the button with a bit of twine.  Voila!  Would have been super easy if I didn't have all the sentiment trouble.  Head on over to The House blog to see the projects from the rest of the DT.  Then come play along.  I can't wait to see how you mix these colors.
