Since it's Wednesday, there is a lot going on here at the blog.... first up is my post for Whimsical Wednesday: The Diedrich Dare. Madelynn brought us an inspiration challenge this week. These are the hardest challenges for me and I'm really steppin' out with the BRIGHT color scheme. Here's what she chose:
The layout is pretty simple. I was originally going to have a sentiment, but every one I tried just didn't look right. So I finally said: "okay - no sentiment. just ribbon and gems". And now the card and I are both happy!!
Please take a moment to check out The Diedrich Dare blog --- and upload your creation using the inspiration piece as well. Then see what the rest of the DareDevils have done. Debbie isn't participating this week; she's been swamped at work. (bummer.) BUT -- we do get to welcome 2 new DareDevils to the team: Jacquie and Valerie. I'm so excited to get to design with Val again and really can't wait to get to know Jacquie well too!
Come back later* as I have a FlutterBy Wednesday post coming up too! The Cuttlebug Challenge team is on hiatus this week as we prepare for our next Big Event coming up in just a few days!
*MUCH later as I've just realized it's Wednesday and I forgot to create that card earlier today!

I was a bit thrown by the bright colours too so I also went very simple! I think those are tempting turquoise and pixie pink! I love those intricate snowflakes!
I love this Cassie!!! i just LOVE snowflakes... wonderful inspiration of the colors... it's pretty without a sentiment, i can't picture one on it!!! =D hugs, Kris
Weren't those colors tough??!! You rocked the challenge though! These colors look great together! I love you layout and stamps! The embossing is perfect! Great work! Thanks for the warm welcome! I look forward to getting to know you and the whole team better! :D hugs!
You know what Cassie? This is probably still my favorite set from SU! And I looooove the pink and blue combination with the snowflakes! You did a great job with this challenge this week Cassie! :)
Great interpretation...you do well when you step outside your comfort zone!!
I think the snowflakes really pop on that card stock! Great job making something out of your comfort zone!

So pretty Cass! I know-I'm not the best w/ brights by ANY stretch-this was a tough one for me, too! Your card is so pretty though-LOVE that set!
Beautiful color combo Cassie! I think you're right...I think it's Taken with Teal. I love the bling in the center of the snowflakes. We have lots of snowflakes in front of our house now... did you order this weather???
This is beautiful Cassie!! I love the colors you chose and all those flowers. So cheery!
hugs,
Chris
So pretty! I think it's a wonderful take on the inspiration challenge! The white embossing looks beautiful!
Great job. I love how you used the colors from the plate. The snowflakes look so pretty.
