Welcome! This week the Colour Me challenge incorporates four(!) colours: two shades of red, a teal, and a turqoise.
When my card has to be extra (eggstra…) colourful, I tend to use each colour quite sparingly. This card is no exception. I combined several patterned papers to paper piece and create an Easter themed shaker. Since the four colours are similar in tone, I was able to find plenty of paper in my stash that fit the bill. Almost all of the supplies I used were from Lawn Fawn. Make sure to check out my video tutorial to see how I made this week’s card.

love the vellum background and the paper-pieced bunny looks just adorable – I might have to get this stamp ste after all :o)
I’m always kind of reluctant to buy stamp sets that are so specific to an occasion, but I think I’ll be able to use this one all year long. 🙂
