I think I must have been having an out of body moment when I chose these colors- we don't have stampin' blends in these colors......so I reverted back to watercoloring with stamp pads.....something I have not done in a long time. My dessert - anything goes, was lace. On my card the watercoloring made the Pacific Point color very compromised, which was okay with me actually. That color is INTENSE. But I promise I did use that reinker. I also embossed the words just using a very wet Gorgeous Grape ink pad and clear powder - it worked well! Okay- enough blabbing - Happy Tuesday everyone!!

I was anxious to see your card after you chose these colors Karen. This has such a feminine appeal to it- I love how you have used the colors and your watercoloring

Gorgeous watercoloring on this lovely birthday card. I love the scalloped edge and the embossed layer behind the floral panel. Lovely lacy bow sets it off so beautifully!

I’m definitely challenged by this color combo but I have a few ideas even with the limited supplies I took with me on my trip to NJ to see family! I love what you did with these flowers!
