It is that time again.....time for another CLEARLY INSPIRED CHALLENGE over at Lori's blog ClearlyiStamp.

There has been some exciting news over at CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS, Lori is now carrying a new line of paper and co-ordinating ribbons. So this weeks Clearly Inspired Challenge was a color challenge using three of the new colors: Cherry Go Round, Lime Juice and Bee Pollen and a neutral color. I chose black as my neutral.

I used a new stamp set for April from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS called Blooming With Blessings.

Why not join us and play along....if you don't have the exact colors....use what you have that comes closest. There are always prizes to be won.

This card also qualifies for the following challenges:

~RAISE THE BAR : April Showers

~THE PINK ELEPHANT : Use a nature theme, I used some dragon fly brads.

~MIDNIGHT MADNESS SKETCH CHALLENGE : I chose this sketch to feature the new ribbons from CDS.

~FOR FUN CHALLENGES : April Showers Bring May Flowers

Card Supplies:
