Hi! This cad was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: What were those colors? Participants were to use either their wedding colors or high school colors. I went to 6 different high schools, so I can't really claim any of them as "mine." (Hey, we moved, A LOT!!!) So, I chose our wedding colors...Okay...brace yourself, (Speedy the Cat HATES the first color and HISSED when I got out my coloring tools!)....ORANGE and Moss/Celery...Yep...the color was called Moss/Celery. My grandmother chose the colors. I didn't want them...However, the MAGNOLIAS and ribbons were BEAUTIFUL!!! I still don't know how they stayed so beautiful for the 6 hours from the time they were cut until the final photos were taken, but my bouquet, the table flowers, even the cake were BEAUTIFUL!! Since the stems of the flowers and leaves were various colors of browns, I used dark brown butterflies and sentiment!
The other "limit" was to use staples, clips or photo turns. I chose a clip and tied a ribbon scrap around it! No other limits. The image was stamped in VersaMark and embossed in copper. I colored the rose with Twinkling H2O's, Copics and an Inkssentials pen.

Another homerun card, Faith!! And I LOVE the colors, even if Speedy is a little less than enthusiastic!! Maybe I could get my doggie to help inspire ME with my cards! I especially like the layout . . . it really spotlights that rose! Lovely!
