How to turn this color challenge on its head

This week's Paper Craft Crew color challenge seems to be all about spring and Easter....

but is it really? 

As much as I love pastel colors for clothing I am not that keen on them for cards, or maybe it these challenge colors? lol Anyway I chose to think outside the box and focus mainly on Crumb Cake. 

Which led me to my Notes of Nature bundle:

I also decided to do something very different than I normally do, which is a combination of dry embossing and heat embossing. And I dry embossed a layer of Perennial Lavender designer series paper, something else unusual for me. 

Here's my challenge card:

 

Did you notice that I heat embossing the cardstock vellum layer and the phrase? Super fun and I love how my card turned out. Tip: if you want to see how I created the card, watch my Instagram Reels this week.
