I thought for sure I would use my beloved polka dots (dessert) on a card but alas, I didn't get past my first go which just didn't seem to get along with dots.
I started by using the challenge color Blends to color some pieces from the Flower Foils Specialty DSP. Then I held these up to this beautiful Soft Seafoam cardstock that was embossed with the Parisian Flourish folder and knew I had to use them together.
The greeting is from the Thanks for the Laughs set of greeting stamps. I embellished this little number with a few Champagne Rhinestones.
I hope you are staying well and have a chance to join the challenge!

Ah, Chris, your card is a delight! The embossing folder you used is stunning--onto my shopping list! And the colored flower looks great against that perfectly colored DS paper!

I love you paired the flourishes seafoam background with the checked strip at the bottom of your card, it's such a great contrast between organic and geometric, especially with that gorgeous bloom! You've balanced the challenge colors perfectly Chris, I totally love your card!!

The plaid and the embossing make this card so special!
