I was a little intimidated at first, I'll admit it! For one, I normally don't use that bright of a pink and I sure as heck don't normally mix it up with orange!! But I'm really pleased with my finished card!! Here it is:
Stamps: Kindred Spirits, Fluttering By (Verve)
Paper: Kraft, Chocolate Chip, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie CS; Pumpkin Pie DP (SU0
Ink: Melon Mambo, Chocolate Chip (SU)
Accessories: Butterfly Sizzix die, chipboard; button (Basic Grey); Chocolate Chip ribbon, Scallop Border punch, Word Window Punch (SU)
And here's a little sneak peek at what all the other My Time to Create girls came up with:

Love this! Those butterflies are great! Isn't it fun to try something you don't normally do and then be happy with it? You did a great job with the challenge!
Oh I LOVE the clean lines and the fun paper you used, Jen! That layered butterfly with the button is fabulous!!! A fave of mine!
Great card Jen and fabulous use of the colors together - I am always amazed at how well some color combos actually turn out! Super cute.
OH! LOVE the butterflies! This is just so darn purty!
Well you did a fabulous job with the colors you don't usually use! It really works and looks great! I love the butterfly.
Love, love, love the pink and orange, especially on the kraft paper. GORGEOUS!
Ummmm, yeah, that hot pink and orange are amazing together!!! Love that you kept this card "Jen" with the clean and crisp combo of curvy butterfly lines, graph paper and gorgeous tone on tone bold stamp image. Simply perfect!
Oh Jen...I LOVE your card! Sooo classy :O) Like you I don't mix pink with orange...EVER. That color combo scares me. I was thinking the orange was a dark yellow when I created my card, but now that I see your card next to the challenge graphic, it is TOTALLY orange! Thank goodness I screwed up the combo or it may have put me in a rut for a few days :O) LOL You are awesome! Hope you're enjoying the Hawaiian sun I left behind and miss dearly :(
Have a great weekend!

I adore the end result! This is some serious cuteness!
Best wishes from Morocco!
This is my kind of color combination! WOW! I'm going to have to find time to play along! Jen your card is so inspiring! ... it just pops!
Wholy crap girl, I almost said the F-bomb there!!! Love this and the colours together! I am so casing this colour combo! Love love love it!
I agree that the orange and pink was kind of scary, but you pulled it off beautifully. I love the butterflies, so fun!
This is too fabulous! Don't you just love that butterfly die?! It's my favorite thing in stamping right now!
