Karen is our hostess this week and she has chosen watermelon wonder, lost lagoon, old olive, and for dessert: an oval
For my card, I knew that I needed 3 colors for each flower and 2 for the leaves, so I chose colors that, overall, closely present as the specific colors (I only have Old Olive). Die cut and stamped (triple stamping) the flowers and leaves (double stamping), and the top panel with a stitched square opening (no dessert this week). Embossed the top panel and then assembled with adhesive and dimensional tape, adding some stickles for some sparkle. The butterfly is sponged, and then stamped with the bg stamp from PTI - love what that added!
Come and join in the challenge - you may be our next favorite!!

Pretty card...even tho' I'm not a fan of blue roses(reminds of a line from the drama "A Glass Menagerie"). You did a superb job of multiple step stamping.

I really like the contrast of your bold black greeting with these pretty flowers

Stunning! Super card. I love the embossed frame to show off those roses. And how about that butterfly? Your sponging left just the right amount of highlight. Wow - Fav'd!
