Guest Designing for the Color Throwdown

Hey my friends!  I'm thrilled to let you all know that I was asked to be the Guest Designer for the Color Throw Down for the month of April!  They seem to always have 4 colors for their challenge - and for some reason that is a real challenge for me! (I find 3 or less colors much easier to create with!)  What are your thoughts on this???   Here are this weeks colors from Danielle (a most superb stamper AND colorer! Have you seen her cards??).
 

And here's my card using these FOUR colors -  (or reasonable facsimiles there of!)
My lovely Easter Basket and Happy Easter greeting are from Rubbernecker. I embossed the background panel with the Square Lattice Embossing folder by SU.  The pretty green jute ribbon is from Pouch Mart.  I colored the basket with Copics in 'close to' the challenge colors!?!

So -  please check out the Color Throw Down blog - where you'll find all the details of the challenge - and some wonderful inspiration from the Design Team!   I hope you'll join us this week.  If I can use 4 colors than so can you!! LOL!!!
