I can't believe it's Thursday already. All this fun with Okstamperfest has made the week just fly by not to mention work being very busy. Of course, I always find time for Pals Paper Arts challenge. I love this weekly challenge and its just a great way to make sure I make a card. This week is a color challenge for Perfect Plum, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. The colors were a perfect match for the Cast-A-Spell DSP.

• The card base was 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" scored on the top in Basic Black with the corners rounded
  
• I took a strip of Old Olive and punch it with my MS Drippy Goo punch (just love this for Halloween projects)
  
• I then layered on a strip of Pumpkin Pie for a thin border
  
• The last layer was Cast-A-Spell DSP, which is accented with a 1/4" grosgrain ribbon in Elegant Eggplant (not a perfect match, but definitely works) tied in the Stay Put Bow
  
• Two rectangles one in Old Olive and the other in Pumpkin Pie are punch with the ticket corner and adhered with dimensionals
  
• The sentiment from the Level One Hostess Set "Holiday Best" is stamped in Elegant Eggplant
• Three fire circle rhinestone brads are added for a bit of bling

These colors are not in my normal rotation but I think can work well together. CHECK OUT what other people did with this challenge by going to www.palspaperarts.com. Better yet, give it a try. You never know what creative juices you might get flowing.
