Designed2Delight DT Challenge: Pink & Orange

Hello everyone, today I am doing something NEW.  'What?' you say!

I'm HOSTING the Saturday Designed2Delight DT Challenge for the first time since I joined the Design Team.  (I could imagine what you might be saying here, but maybe I shouldn't, hee, hee)

Okay, how about some details already.  I chose a color challenge of
PINK & ORANGE.
Both colors are being required.  You have the option of using neutrals (brown, gray, tan, black, white, & cream) along with the Pink & Orange. 

You may use any image, or a Designed2Delight image. And as you probably know, you have the chance to win a Designed2Delight image!  All the details are on the D2D blog.

This is my card which just refused to cooperate while I was taking the photo above. It would not stay nicely closed. That's because I tried the Tri-shutter fold for this card.  Also a first for me. Here is the open view.

This cute dancing mouse is part of the Designed2Delight 'Dancing Mice' set (which can be found here).  As is the sentiment.  I love it when sentiments are included in stamp sets.  Thanks Faith!

I was really tired the night I was trying to cut the orange pieces of cardstock to fit the front and back.  I finally gave up after 3 tries to fit the back piece.  I had so many little rectangular pieces of orange CS on my desk I figured I'd better stop before I kill off more cardstock! I had an easier time of it the next day.

I used Prismacolor pencils & OMS to color and BasicGrey papers from Green at Heart and Indian Summer..

I am entering the following challenges with this card:

Bee Crafty - summers here
Bearly Mine - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp - bingo (flowers, brads, sentiment)
Whimsie Doodles - to die for

I really hope you will get some time to join in on this challenge.  For some super inspiration, go see the examples we have on the D2D blog.
