Our color challenge this week (CC519) is just lovely, and our CAS challenge is spring. I blended eggplant, pear, and pool on white cs (each a different area of the cs), and then die cut the branch and flowers from each of the colors. I added some Hawaiian shores on the edges of the pool flower. I then adhered the flowers on top of the die I had blended in green. Die cut my rectangles, layered the larger panel with dsp strips, and stamped my sentiment in 2 colors by masking and stamping each word separately. Popped up the dsp panel for dimension, added enamel dots and stickles for some sparkle. Linking also to:

Wonderful clean and fresh look to your card with these colors, Maura. Pleasing mix of subtle patterns on your DPs in the bg. The flowering die cut branch and flowers are wonderfully done.

This is so pretty, Maura! I love what you did to the tips of the flower petals! Your papers, kept simple, was a great choice because they still allow the image to take center stage!
