Here I go again, combining challenges, but there's so many I want to do and so little time! The Color Challenge is to use Concord Crush, Ivory and Crumb Cake with a dessert option of NO dp. I used an EF on the Vanilla panel for my BG. For the Teapot Tuesday Challenge, we are to bring tulips to the party...I did. The ODBD Shining the Light Challenge is to do NO coloring. We could sponge a BG but NO coloring. I sponged the BG, making it slightly darker in the corners where the flowers would be. I embossed with Gold EP. Thanks for taking a peek!

Wowza, CA, you really poured on the regal look with this card!!! That Concord crush with the Crumb cake and Gold embossing make for one classy card!! Popping it up on the white embossed BG and adding the Concord Ribbon gives it such a RICH LOOK!! This is a real CLASS ACT!! Love it that you knocked off 3 challenges with one card!! lymi
