When I saw the challenge for CAS, I was sure I wasn't going to do it. I've been so focused on fall colors, I couldn't get my head around what seemed to be summer colors. But I got an idea and that's all it took. Thank you to Julia Stainton for the flower idea on her blog.
I used the dandelion dew drop to create the flower, using the ink pad like a stamp for the petals. Not perfectly symmetrical like Julia's but I kind of like how it turned out in a lop sided way. Then I used these great CS stamps for the rest of the colors. I don't have a coral so subbed with the peach. I have to say, this was fun, good to get out of a comfortable groove.

It was hard for me to get away from fall colors, too. I'm not big on lighter/pastel-ish colors to begin with, but it was fun to come out of my cave and try this great, tropical color combo. It's perfect for my AU friends who are moving toward the summer season. I like your sweet border and bold sentiment! Nice!
