I love today's challenge colors, but I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've used Blush Blossom. I brayered it, Cameo Coral, and Certainly Celery to make my background for the image.
This is my tribute to the last lazy days of summer...which are over for us now that my son is back in school. It's also hints to the fact that the little girl he has a crush on is in every one of his classes this year. Of course, being in 7th grade, he'll hardly speak to her. He doesn't blush exactly, but does get a sheepish smile on his face when she's nearby.
I'll send this to a friend at church who broke her elbow...ouch!
TFL!

What a stunning and beautiful card - the brayer work is perfection. The tree background adds a different and special touch, your friend is very lucky indeed to receive it- despite the ouchy :(
The story of your son's blushing also brought such a smile to my face
Thanks so much for playing

I WILL be casing this one! It is gorgeous- I would never have come up with this using these colors. Love the image and your sketch. Another awesome job.

Wow - your cards are so great. This one is very special and I just love your coloring. I have got to learn to use a brayer - I have tried a few times but nothing I did looks like this!
