I almost had the challenge colors! Ended up subbing the ones closest. I think this came out well, considering I wasn't paying attention when scoring the fold and scored it too short! Time to improvise and matted the oval and just dropped it down a bit and voila! It looks like I meant it that way (of course I did). I also really like how the sponging around the oval spotlighted the pretty flower. Enjoy!

Wonderful use of the challenge colors. The image is lovely. The yellow sponging truly does highlight the flowers. The layout is terrific. Excellent "fix" of the short front; I thought you had done that on purpose. Looks great. Beautiful card.

This is so pretty! The purple oval layer reminds of of when the my first stamping mentor, Kathy Peterson, taught me to use purple as shadows and that is kind of what your layer does.

What a great save on your scoring. This does look like it was meant to be and got to love that. Your sponging looks so good around your flowers on the oval. I need to use oval dies more!

It is just wonderful when you can save a card you had a mishap with. I love the image and that you left the flowers white. The dark green and purple highlight the oval so well. All the yellow looks like a day of sunshine and I love that. Awesome card.
