PPA1 is the first challenge. It is a color challenge to use Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, and Chocolate Chip. Here are the details for my card:

• This is a 5.5" square Chocolate Chip card base.
• A 2.5"x5.5" strip of Melon Mambo took a trip through my Big Shot with the small dots Texturz Plate. It was attached in the upper half of the card.
  
• A little paper piercing detail was added above the Melon Mambo strip.
• Melon Mambo Polka Dot Grosgrain was added toward the bottom (to be used later under the sentiment). I used the backside to keep it simple and folded it under on the end.
  
• Using my Circle Scissors Plus, I cut out two circles: a 5.5" circle of Bermuda Bay, and a 5.25" circle of a Melon Mambo print (Patterns Pack). The circles were attached to the card with a large overhang. I flipped the card over to trim the excess.
• The images are from the set Classy & Fabulous. This is definitely my kind of girl- coffee and phone in hand! I used Jet Black StazOn to stamp the main image onto Whisper White.
• I used a blender pen and open ink pads of Bermuda Bay, Chocolate Chip, and Melon Mambo to fill in the image.
  
• A mat of Bermuda Bay was layered underneath and a cute little clip was added in the upper corner. TIP: The Bermuda Bay Polka Dot Grosgrain was a bit too wide to tie around the clip, so I used some Snail and folded it in half before tying.
• I used the Matchbox Die and my Big Shot for just the right shape for my sentiment.
• I inked up the sentiment in Jet Black StazOn and stamped it onto the shape with the use of a stamp-a-ma-jig.
  
• Two Chocolate Chip Corduroy Buttons seemed to be just the right touch in the bottom left corner.

I hope you too will play along at PPA!
