This card is my submission to today's SCS Limited Challenge. It's been a while since I've participated in challenges and we had to bury our 14-year-old dog yesterday. The last thing I felt like doing was creating a card...but I needed the therapy.
Basic Grey's Blush Collection paper was used to set the color scheme and I used a brand new set out from Clear Dollar Stamps called "Designer Garden".
The stamped image was stamped using SU! Tempting Turquoise, Cranberry Crisp and Adirondack Caramel inks on PaperTrey's gorgeous white cardstock, I then sponged with SU! Tempting Turquoise around the edge and overstamped with Adirondack Caramel inks. I doodled around the image area with coordinated colored Sharpies. The sentiment was stamped with SU! Cranberry Crisp onto PaperTrey White Cardstock, then punched halfway with a Marvy Mega Circle Punch. I heavily sponged around the edges of that with SU! Tempting Turquoise and doodled around the edge with a cranberry Sharpie. I popped up the image and sentiment on dimensionals. I embellished with a cranberry loop ribbon bow and an amber colored opaque circular brad.

Sweet theme - great colors! Glad you made the effort to create today, it is therapy. So sorry for the loss of your four-footed friend. I can completely relate. Take care!
