This is a really pretty color combo, except for the bravo burgandy. LOL. Okay, so I hate that color. I don't mind the cardstock, but the ink....oh my....it's so....bravo brown or something. So I only used the cardstock on my card, and hey, that worked! It's the ONLY SU color that I hate. Hate is a strong word, but dislike doesn't cut it. Luckily there is cherry cobbler, riding hood red, and even rich razzleberry that I use when I want a brighter hue. Anyway, the cardstock is actually pretty. Here is my card, I am still playing with this new saleabration set - Sweet Summer. So full of whimsy - hope you like it!~ Oh yah, and those butterflies, are fluttering in the "breezes" - (a little dessert never hurt anyone!)~ PSPS- someone also said in a comment -wow- love the brads......"look ma, no brads" - that is just the little dots that come out when you punch a 1/8" hole punch glued on and then covered with crystal effects)

Karen, I totally agree. Why SU didn't trade Bravo Burgundy in for something else, I'll never understand! You make me want this stamp set! Your colors are so rich and beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration!

Love these flowers, Karen, and pairing them up with this dp brings out the sheer prettiness of both!! Is prettiness a word? You know what I mean. Something about all the little dot shapes which make up the patterns and images is sooooo appealing!!! I have to say, your bravo burgundy looks beautiful here! (Know what you mean though, in bad light, yuck.)

I don't like BB either. I love how you used it here, thanks for the idea. Love what you are doing with this stamp set.... I saw your (was it a Fan Club?) card yesterday too and didn't take time to comment. SO FUN!
