I was challenged by this colour palette

I really like the colours in this weeks Just Add Ink colour challenge but I was totally stumped on how I could use them in a card. It's been great seeing all the inspiration from the DT and some of the entrants and have pinned some cool ideas for future but it still wasn't helping ME to create a card with the colours.

To be honest I nearly gave up but pleased I thought let's have a go with one of my new stencils I bought from the Spring release for Honey Bee Stamps a few months ago. It's a very cool 6" x 6" stencil set which is totally clear so it is very easy to line up. In the set there are 4 stencils large flowers, small flowers, stems and leaves. I added a darker green to the mix so the stems looked different. A simple banner die from an old set and viola a bright, cheery card which has not a lot of white space and NO PINK to be seen!!

One of the great things I like about doing challenges apart from being challenged is I try and make sure I use something new I bought to (a) work out how it works and (b) to justify why I had to buy it, so I'll also enter my card at the Never-Before Used-Stauf challenge.
