I like these colors together but I feel like my card is a bit on the plain side. I just didn't know what embellishments to add to it, though, and the local postmaster can be really picky about anything bumpy on mail :p
This is a Z-fold card; the Certainly Celery panel is half the front of the card folded back on itself, and the Soft Sky part is the inside of the card. I figured the SS was light enough to write even on the pattern and still have it legible for whenever I use the card. I colored in the flowers with Prismacolors and baby oil.

Lovin' this one AS IS. I like the boldness of the blue bayou frames contrasted with the other soft colors. Very Pretty!

Okay Christy - since Smitty ( janice ) commented on your card.. I just had to tell you that of course in Canada where I live there are two official languages- French and English. Well, living one the West Coast me and my family just know the basic french that we have been taught during 5 years of French (one class per year ).. When my younger son went to Montreal for two weeks - my mom kept reminding my then 14 year old son.. when some one says Merci - what do you reply??? She would respond for him - du rien . ( which means you are welcome ). It's become a family joke -my mom said it sooooo many times - dead seriously too!!

Gorgeous - I love the simplicity!
(hint . . . when I have a *bumpy* card, I place a piece of cardboard which I cut from empty boxes, on top of the front and it usually goes through for one stamp and none of those *looks* from the mail lady! It does protect the embellies from cutting through the envelope. Try it.)
