This is my card for this weeks cc415 challenge. Charlene is our hostess and for her maiden voyage as color challenge hostess she chose more mustard, old olive and midnight muse.
I Loved working with this color combo. But, I didnÂ’t do dessert this week.
My flower image is from the Verve set – “great friend”. Stamped image in midnight muse on more mustard cs and fussy cut the flower.
I popped up each layer for dimension and sponged the edges of the flower. The center is a midnight muse dahlia from SU.
Layered the flower on a doily die cut in midnight muse. Added some greenery and a flag sentiment.

I love how you sponged the More Mustard flowers with the Midnight Muse, Mary. It really gives them definition. Love your pretty dp and sketch layout, too. Beautiful card!
