The colorQ is also having a colour challenge in very similar colors...love these colours, probably my favorite "softer" colours...for I am usually a "bright" girl.

Here is my card:

Stamp: PTI Background Basic Hearts

Paper: PTI Raspberry Fizz, Pure Poppy, Hawaiian Shores, Kraft, White, Bitty Box Basics in dark chocolate and raspberry fizz, Bitty Dot Basics in dark chocolate.
