Hi! This card is for today's Color Challenge: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose and Old Olive. Ironically, I tend to choose these colors for other challenges, so I felt very comfortable using them!
The Flower feature was stamped twice color on color in Regal Rose, then cut out and layered. Next, I punched two flowers with the flower punch. Then, I punched a 3/4" circle and layered a stamped 1/2 circle for the center. The rhinestones came in a CCRAK!
I stamped the SU! DP with the "circle flourish" from Wanted in Old Olive and then with Sanded. The other side is Regal Rose stamped with Print Pattern then with Sanded.
I wanted a darker colored sentiment, so I used a Regal Rose Marker and then an Old Olive on the Tres Chic Background for "Family."
I'm sending this to my husband's step-sister who has been in emotional pain over a family loss.

Great card! I love the colors and the 3-D. You have done an excellent job with using different elements and making them work. I wasn't sure if I liked that sanded backgroung, but after seeing how you used it, it will be going on my wish list.
