Hi! It feels so goooood to make a card today. Life was so hectic through last week up until yesterday. I had "card-making withdrawal"!
At least I am in time for the current Color Challenge, to use Close to Cocoa, Garden Green and Barely Banana. What a pretty combo.

A pretty colour combo indeed - and a gorgeous card to show those colours at their best! I have had that lattice die on my list but other goodies keep jumping queue to get ahead of it. Seeing it turned into a fence with gorgeous flowers is helping improve its position on my wish list! Lookzi at all dat punchin'!! You go girl! RYPH!

This is so lovely, Colleen!! I just love how you used the challenge colors--a beautiful combo, and you assigned them to roles on your card perfectly. I can see even more detail here in this photo than on your blog and am tickled to see that you ripped your brown paper--perfect for the ripe-for-planing soil in your garden by this terrific gate!!! This is SO creative. Great work, Blondzi

Blondzi I love that background medallion on this one. What a lovely array of punches you have used too. This is very dainty and elegant looking and that is a fabulous color combo. Just wonderful.
