I am SO happy to be able to host this week's color challenge and hope that you will be able to join us!
I chose Pretty Peacock + Pool Party + Rococo Rose with stripes as the dessert option.
I actually started this card by making a few sheets of stripes using my sponge daubers to swipe some Pool Party mixed with white craft ink across my cardstock. Then I decided I liked it best as a border and chose this pretty cherry blossom image to be my focal point, along with the greeting, You Mean So Much To Me. After coloring the image with Blends markers I cut it out along with two additional die cuts to layer it to be thicker before applying it to my card. Accents are a tiny scallop border and Pretty Peacock rhinestones.
Thank you for peeking at my card and I really hope you get a chance to play along with us this week!

This is beautiful, Chris! I especially love the stripes you created, and now I have yet another clever trick to use in the future. The flowers are lovely, and the greeting is just wonderful!
