Mary has chosen Night of Navy, Mint Macaron, and Watermelon Wonder and challenged us to use designer paper for dessert. I needed a sympathy card today which was tough with these cheerful colors.
I found this lovely wreath coloring page online and isn't it perfect in these colors?
I fussy cut it and then decided that I didn't like it on anything but a white background. So I die cut a square and mounted the wreath on it. I stamped my Best Thoughts sentiment in Nautical Blue, and added some shading to the letters with black gel pen. I'll admit here that my dessert option isn't my most thrilling use of designer paper ever but it is really lovely paper that I never would have chosen to use on this card otherwise. That's why I love the challenges here on SCS!

You are right about the challenges on SCS. They draw out the best in us! Pretty piece of dp for your wreath, which does look wonderful in these colors, Jen!
