The colors this week at the Fab Friday challenge are really pretty. I know I'm in the minority when I say that I like Summer Starfruit, but I do like it and I think it gets a bad rap! I like that it's not quite yellow and it's not exactly green, but somewhere in between. Anyway, I paired all the colors in the challenge with this great sketch from Friday Mashup.
I thought a nice, soft Crumb Cake background would look good with these bright colors and I think I'm right! A nice springy card, I say to myself! And spring would be a welcome change around here. It's been quite chilly here the last few days, but I think warmer weather is on the horizon. I've got my fingers crossed anyway!
Well that's it for me. Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies:
Stamps: Funky Florals (Papertrey Ink)
Accessories: Sentiment Strips die (My Favorite Things); Scallop Border die (The Stamps of Life); Witch Hazel button (October Afternoon); crochet thread; dimensionals

So beautiful Jen! You always put it together so well.
This is very beautiful. Wonderful design work.
Sooo pretty!
Love this!
Well no one told me that Starfruit wasn't liked. I'm on your side, Jen, I think it so pretty and it photographs nicely, too, which is not the case with a lot of yellow Hughs. Your card is very striking!!
Very nice card! Great combination of both challenges!
Wowzers. I love this!
I hate Starfruit SOOOOOOOOOO much, but you made it look nice. :) I think anyone with a baby probably won't be a big fan of that color. lol
Great sketch. I like those colors together~fab card! Thanks for stopping by my blog.:)
Fun card with a fresh color combo... love it! Thanks for joining the Friday Mashup this week.
Great job using the challenge colors! I like the pop of Calypso Coral in the center of your large flower! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
Great card Jen, I agree that the Crumb Cake is a great choice for these colors! Also, you can have the Summer Starfruit....I'm one of those people that hates it :)
Thanks for joining us at The Friday Mashup!
This is gorgeous Jen, a great use of those colours. I adore Summer Starfruit and it's so 'now' - brilliant for making a 70s retro vibe!
Hi Jen,
Your card is beautiful! Great combination of challenges and colors. Those yellow flowers look great as a focal point. Thanks for playing along with us at the Friday Mashup this week!
Absolutely beautiful - What a wonderful combination of the sketch and the colour challenges! It's so soft and pretty. Thanks for sharing with us at The Friday Mashup :)
SUCH a fab card Jen! Love the Crumb Cake background with the little pops of colour - all the details are just wonderful! Thanks for playing along with the Friday Mashup this week!
I love the clean look of this card! And I love the way you've used the colors -- just pops of pretty color with lots of neutral Crumb Cake (and polka dots -- even better). I think Summer Starfruit gets a bad rap too. I like it in small doses. These flowers are really cute!
I love that flower! Very cool card... the two panels work perfect under the flower! Thanks so much for joining us at Fab Friday!
Very nice use of the colors! I love that flower. Thanks for playing at Fab Friday!
Just gorgeous! This sketch looks great in these colors! Thanks for playing at Fab Friday!
I guess I'm an outlier. I love Summer Starfruit. Your use of it in combination with the other colors is very well done, too.
