So I changed it up a little and this ISN'T a side border card, it's a CORNER border card...
Actually I've been having fun trimming off two edges of one of my favorite die cuts and adding it to some of my favorite patterns: diagonal plaids. After doing some in other bright colors I thought it would be fun to try a similar design with LeAnn's lovely, soft colors: Blushing Bride, Soft Succulent and Sahara Sand. Dots or gems are dessert.
I can't wait to see what you do with this challenge!
FYI - Just in case you are as crazy about diagonal plaids as me: This plaid is one of 4 patterns in Stampin' Up!'s Neutrals DPS. It is retiring but the last I looked it is still available in all color groups. PLUS it's half price! There is also another pretty diagonal plaid in next year's catalog but it isn't on sale and the price will go up. I just wish they would keep patterns from year to year...

I love organics mixed with geometric designs so your card definitely rings all my bells Chris! The vase with florals is so delicate and pretty, and the corner design with the plaid on the side is a great design!

Chris, you are full of surprises! Love the corners cut off one side, super idea for a totally different look! Your bouquet in this week's colors show off the new stamp beautifully! TFS

This card has such a "calming" effect. Absolutely beautiful, and I love how your cut off the edges of your die to give this look. Into my faves for inspiration.

Oh, so pretty! Love it. Your corner design is excellent. Love the sand color in the plaid. I wasn't sure about this stamp set, but your card has me thinking about it. Wonderful use of the challenge colors on your beautiful card.
