Teal & Yellow - Using Stamps From Any Company

It's the first of the month again when we open up our challenge to stamps from any company.  Of course, if you have Stampsmith stamps, we'd love to see your inspiration with them!  This week, Karen has a doozie of a challenge for us (ok, well, at least for Val!! :)  She's asked us to combine the colors teal and yellow in our creations.  Of course, these colors do not have to be the main colors and you are welcome to add any other colors you wish - but teal and yellow have to be in there somewhere!!  We can't wait to see what you come up with!  The design team has some inspiration to get you started!
