Karen is our hostess this week and she has chosen watermelon wonder, lost lagoon, old olive, and for dessert: an oval
For my card, I knew that I needed 3 colors for each flower and 2 for the leaves, so I chose colors that, overall, closely present as the specific colors (I only have Old Olive). Die cut and stamped (triple stamping) the flowers and leaves (double stamping), and the top panel with a stitched square opening (no dessert this week). Embossed the top panel and then assembled with adhesive and dimensional tape, adding some stickles for some sparkle. The butterfly is sponged, and then stamped with the bg stamp from PTI - love what that added!
Come and join in the challenge - you may be our next favorite!!

Oh I love this! The beautiful blossoms against the white make a powerful impression! Your embossed frame is a sweet support. Love the font on the sentiment. Super, super, card!

I'm always intrigued by your cards, Maura. You have such a talent to design cards designed with several challenges in mind. You've created a soft and lovely card with today's challenge.
