I love playing in the Splitcoaststampers daily challenges. The Color Challenge is one of my favorites because you never know where the colors will take you. This week the color we were challenged with was Basic Gray, Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirouette.
This particular gray is not my favorite as it is reminds me of a battleship. But it made a great background base for the pinks with the addition of white and green.
I attached the fence on to the card base using mounting tape and added foliage all the way across the fence line. I created flowers with both colors of pink and attached to the heads of each piece of foliage. It was sort of plain so I punched little sections of foliage with the branch punch and added tiny flowers along the border.
I attached the sentiment layer above the fence and designed matching flower sprays for embellishments and to add another element of softness. I really love the tiny flower garden with this fence.
Have a great day and thanks for checking in.

The combination of colors I really like. Greys and blacks can sometimes make the most beautiful backgrounds. Love the card.
I love the grey and pinks. Your cards are always awesome. Thanks again for showing the different accessories you use.
For someone who doesn’t like a particular colour shade, you certainly know how to make it work, Kittie. It’s beautiful.
Kittie, your cards are just amazing & each one is an absolute piece of art. I can’t even imagine how many times you punched these tiny leaves & flowers to turn this into such a lovely one of a kind creation. I so look forward to seeing what beautiful idea you come up with each day. thanks for your wonderful inspiration & for showing what tools you use & also for the many tutorials. Maybe one day I will attempt to try one !
Hugs, Janie
Beautiful and I just love that sentiment with it!
That is such a pretty card! I haven’t seen that leaf punch before I do believe it will need to go onto my wish list… LOL Again so pretty!

So much stunning cards! You inspired me to do such wonderful flower creations as well. I designed some daffodils for a spring card. It’s such a fun to work with punches. Thank you for your inspiration. I love your cards!
Kitty I love this card. Could you tell me what exactly you used as the Yellow center of your flowers? I can’t see close enough to figure it out?
Thanks!!

Beautiful card. The picket fence and
flowers really sets this card off beautifully.
Your work is just amazing. I just love your flowers. I have a hard time not putting flowers on my cards when I make them . I am glad I found someone that love flowers as much as me. Your flowers are so much better than mine but your designs have given me lots of new ideas. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
So pretty!
Why I have never heard Color Challenge before? And I love the grey and pinks.
