Sunday Stamps // #SSC390 ...A "color palette" challenge!!  Of the five colors given on our "Garden Grandeur" color palette, pick at least three to use on your card.

For my take on this new color challenge that begins today, I used Stampin Up's Early Espresso, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and Old Olive.  And since there were flowers in the photo, I decided to use a flower die as well.
