Paper Players Challenge #42-Ann's Color Challenge

Hello there! Happy Sunday to you! Sorry, I have been absent for most of the week, life has just been keeping me pretty busy, lately. Today, I am excited to share the new challenge over at The Paper Players! The lovely, Ann Schach has whipped up this awesome color combo for us to play with, this week:
As soon as I laid eyes upon this fabby mix of color, I just knew I wanted to create a baby card! Don't get me wrong, the traditional pink and blue are great to welcome the "wee ones" into the world. But this combo seemed like such a fresh and modern take. I love it! It also inspired me to dust off (REALLY, dust off) a set in my stampin' arsenal, Animal Stories. I don't think I have used this one in over a year...yikes! 

You can also see a itty-bitty preview of a new item from the SU! Summer Mini Catalog on this one. Hooray for Baker's Twine!! 
I went back and forth deciding between bling and pearl embellishments. Shockingly, bling won the fight! :)
I also created another card, just to have on hand. Same stamp set, just with an elephant image. (I will post a picture soon) Can't ever have enough baby cards, I say. :) Finally, here is the inside, decorated with my left-overs from the front:

    OMGosh this is adorable!
    I love the triple whale and such cute colors for a baby card. Love the little details you always do.. the dots (so cute), the twine, the ticket corner punch. All so so cute.
    I can't get over how the same colors look so TOTALLY different by how the DT used them. These might be a brand new FAV color combo for me. Hugs.

    I did not immediately think about a baby card when I saw this color challenge, but you're absolutely right! It's a totally rockin' baby card! And what baby (or baby's mama) wouldn't appreciate a little bling?

    LOVE it Anne Marie! I also did not think "baby" when I saw this combo but you're right (as always!) it is fresh and modern. Love the peeking DSP on the front and all the little AM details that make this a stunner! ((hugs))
