I call this desperate holly because I was really struggling with these colors. I was going a completely different way but after talking to a friend I changed course. And even then it turned out completely different than I thought.
Desperation is the mother of creativity! I felt like I was in school with an assignment and deadline looming. However, I am very pleased with the result.
If you're wondering about the Crumb Cake I used it along with the Mossy Meadow to add some distressing to the edge of the panel.
Thanks Mary for the challenge this week!

Love it! Beautifully done. A struggle does not show, only success! Love how you did the leaves and the frosted berries. Very pretty. Wonderful inspiration for the challenge colors!

No one would guess that these colors were a struggle for you. A beautiful end result! The combination of mossy meadows and crumb cake are great together.

You've done a beautiful job of pulling these colors together - I think your choice of pink really helps! I had trouble getting the challenge colors to take center stage this week too.

It's fun to hear about the creative process behind a card, especially when the final result is so gorgeous. I think the pink splatters are what bring it all together, to match the pink berries. This is such a beautiful card!

This is lovely. The foliage and berries give the look of being partially covered with snow. That woven ribbon is also such a nice touch behind the sentiment label.
