A Flourishing Color Challenge

Do you ever sit and look at color challenges and think, "What in the world am I going to do with this?!?" 

This was NOT the case when I saw Sandy's color challenge over at The Paper Players.  I saw those gorgeous colors (Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush, Pear Pizzazz) and knew at once it was time to get out a set that had yet to see ink.

I pulled out my markers, inked it up and stamped it a couple of times on the paper and then sat and looked at it.

And looked at it.

And looked at it. 

It was gorgeous, but what in the world was I going to do with it now that I had created it?? I HATE that!

Hm.  Maybe a bit of shimmering Smooch Spritz would help inspire me...

Nope.  Now it was extra beautiful and feminine, but I was still clueless.  I really hate that!

Then, I decided, why not just leave it be, let it stand on its own?

Perfect!

I mounted it on a piece of Strawberry Slush, added the sentiment from "Sweet Essentials" (LOVE this set!), backed that with a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe, and finished the whole thing off by adding some pearls.  

Sometimes, I guess you just need to sit and look at something for a couple of days and then inspiration will strike.  :oP
