What a great couple of challenges. Both are out of my comfort zone. I really LIKE to use stamps and I'm not real great w/ pastel colors. So I figured, shoot, in for a penny, in for a pound; so just do them both. I even looked thru my gallery because I couldn't remember if I'd ever not stamped on a card. I was surprised to find three such cards. But I hadn't set out not to stamp, it just happened.
What I did: I kinda liked the celery and lilac together, but the pink was really putting a kink in the works for me. So it was downgraded to a minor accent color (the flowers). The two big daisies are a Sizzix embossing folder. I colored them, used a little blopen on them and cut them out. All other flowers are punches that were layered. The hummer is a brass stencil I dry embossed, flipped over and colored, then cut out.
The dp looks mostly white here, but it has faint celery and lilac flower pattern in it. It is pierced all around and edged w/ a little pink. The ovals are nesties. The celery oval and the dp are bugged w/ the swiss dots. White gel pen dots are around the lilac oval and lilac dots are around the celery layer. Pearls are in the corners and stickles dot the flower centers. TFL
