This is my sample for CC896. I am your hostess this week and I chose evening evergreen, polished pink and fresh freesia for my color trio. Dessert option this week is vellum.
So for my card I used elements of the Paper Pumpkin Kit from June 2021. It has all the colors and die cuts in the chosen colors plus evening evergreen twine.
The card base did not come in the kit- it's the fresh freesia color. I used a die to cut my happy birthday sentiment. The shadow is polished pink and the phrase is cut in vellum.
The background for the die cut leaves came in the kit and it's vellum. To finish off my card, I added a few gems in polished pink.
Hope you can play along with us this week. I would love to see your creations in the CC gallery.

Mary, I love the bouquet of foliage; it looks watercolored, and the colors are so beautiful together. Love the die-cut greeting and the ways you always find to combine elements from PP kits with other elements to make such pretty cards!

This is beautiful. I love this look & how you put it all together.
WOW! all this came in a PP kit! I might think about signing up, but I'd like to have a yes or no choice. I don't like surprises!
