Hi Stampers! I'm back with another ColorLab color challenge card! When I picked out this weeks inspiration for the color challenge, Fun and Funky is what came to mind immediately!
The Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Certainly Celery, and Bashful Blue accented with Early Espresso and set on a Whisper White background create a Trendy color pallet and the dots of color make a very funky chair.
So I figured the best stamp set to create a Funky card with is Funky Four. We used this set last Saturday at Stamp Camp, but this card has a totally different look and feel from the Stamp Camp card - I LOVE when inexpensive stamp sets can create lots of different looks on projects. Big Bang for your buck!

I wanted a lot of Whisper White on this card like the chair in the inspiration but I didn't want it to look too plain so I added the layer of Square Lattice embossed card stock. It's a nice way to add texture but keep the color simple.
The layout for this card came from another sketch (It's really fun to use sketches to create cards - it helps you find somewhere to start but you still get to be creative and come up with your own look to the card! This sketch came from Sketch This card sketch 44 . I liked how this sketch had a similar feeling to the pattern on the chair in the inspiration picture!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with for this color challenge.
