Color Dare #241 Meets The Paper Players Sketch #341

Welcome back to another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge blog post!  This week we have just 3 colors and 1 neutral for you to create with.  Our challenge colors this week are: Raspberry, Lemon, Willow and White Daisy. Of course if you don't have these exclusive Close to My Heart colors yet you may feel free to substitute similar colors so you can still join in on the fun, 

Here is a quick card I made using Some Kind of Wonderful paper, Brushstrokes stamp and Dreamin' Big Cardmaking Bundle stamp and Thin Cut Die.  I swiped the ends of the sentiment panel in Lemon Ink to add a little more color to the card.
