this is my card for tuesday's color challenge of melon mambo and soft suede.
I thought this was an awesome color combo so thank you betty.
I used some heidi grace dsp from her mono floral pattern that is a great match for soft suede.
I sponged my naturals ivory paper with the melon mambo ink before I stamped my image. it just looked too naked without something.
my image is from the wings of friendship stamp set.
there is a first for me on this card-I made a paper flower. I have long admired all the cards I've seen and decided today was the day to make one.
my button center is a white fabric button that I used a melon mambo marker on to get it to match.
the layout is from the sweet sunday sketch get deets here. this was a great layout to show off my dsp.

Yes, Mary, this is a fabulous layout. Your DP is so delicate and goes so great with your vivid bird. I like the swirls you made with mambo on your image panel. I thought it was DP at first. And your flower is the perfect embellishment- aren't they so fun to make?
