Color challenge (Hard Core Crop #8)

I have deadlines coming up for projects really soon, but for the past two weeks I have gotten into a true vacation mode of just having fun and relaxing with my family. Nothing wrong with that, but now I need to get into the creative spirit again, and what better way to get the creative juices flowing than to challenge yourself? Always works for me, so when I was invited to join the Hard Core Crop I knew that was what I needed...

The first challenge I have finished is a color challenge and I created this card:

The challenge was to use these colors: 

I used these perfectly matching Core'dinations papers:

I was inspired by another hard core challenge to create handmade embellishments and made the flowers and leaves on the card. I cut out two types of flowers. One is just a layer of circles with a fabric brad and the other one is those cute rolled flowers.   

I finished a few more challenges (click to see my projects): die-cut challenge and trends challenge.
