The color challenge is to use teal, red, black and white in your artwork. Here’s my card and a tutorial :

 

The flowers are Layers of Color Polka Dot Love art stamps and the background is stamped with Creative Flourish and  Nature Walk.

All the flowers and leaves were stamped on white cardstock with black ink, cut out and applied to the background with glue. Some of them were bent so that they stand out creating the 3-D effect. I love the dimension this creates!
