We are using certainly celery, pixie pink, and apricot appeal.
I decided to use some SU stamps for this card. Coloring copics makes some of my older sets look new again. Of course, I love the toile blossoms even when they are not colored.
I colored the toile blossom background with copics and loved the look so much I did not want to cover it up. I decided to leave it alone and just add a sentiment. I added some celery satin ribbon and a silver style hardward sentiment frame with a little nestie label 4 label inside. I used a sentiment from SU Best Yet set. I added little pearl domes in the corner and called it finished. I love how these colors look together!
What do you think? Please check out this blog post for more card info. Thanks so much!!!

I love this card! You did a fabulous job! The background is gorgeous and I agree that it is too pretty to cover up! The ribbon and sentiment are just the right finishing touch! Love the color combination - would never have tried it on my own - but now can't wait to try it! You made it work! Great job!
