MFT Color Challenge 159 - Hip Hip Hooray

I'm back with another MFT Color Challenge card.  This time we are asked to used Lemon Chiffon, Sour Apple, Grapesicle and Gravel Gray.

Since I have all four of those card stock colors, I decided to make a card using each of them.  I cut random size strips of the card stock and then glued them to a piece of scrap paper.  Next I used the Hip Hip Hooray banner die to cut the background piece.  

I have to say that initially I didn't like the look of the banner at all. The color combination didn't appeal to me.  But I kept going and by the time I added the remaining elements, I was pleased with the end result.  I think the vellum balloon helped a lot by softening the multi-color stripes on most of the banner. Yet another example of why I like these color challenges.  I'm pushed to make color combinations work that I normally wouldn't even consider.

All of the MFT supplies are listed below.  Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
