CPS #242

Card Positioning System Challenge. My stamp club has a monthly challenge card. We recently finished doing every card template from the Joy of Cardmaking magazine. So, this month we were to do a card from palspaperarts.com. There were four challenges from January 2011 (the chosen month). We were to do the one with the bow, but I had to do all 4. This was the color challenge - Baja Blue, Pear Pizzaz, and Perfect Plum. I used the sketch from CPS to make the card.
