StampTV CSS Color Challenge

Hello, it is time for another StampTV CSS Alumni blog hop. You should have arrived here from incredibility talented Betty.  If you get lost along the way you can get the entire list of hop participants at StampTV.   This month Melissa Shultz is challenging us to use this photo for our color inspiration.
Are theses fabulous colors?  I love this combination, it says spring is here to me.  Here is what I came up.

I used an older set from Gina K Designs called Versatile Verses.  It is a wonderful basic set to have.  After using oval nestabilities to cut out the image I used some trim that I bought at Joann's. 

Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (March 20), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps!

Your next stop on the hop is fabulously creative Cheri.

Thank you for stopping by.
