This card is for the Double Dare Challenge I do with a group of SCS friends. This week we had to make a card with a tree but could not use any brown or green anywhere on the card - now who thought of that crazy challenge - oh - ya - it was me this week!!
So - in order to keep me from grabbing any of the forbidden colors - (which is the first thing I do when there are rules it seems!) I went with the monochromatic look - and used Papertrey's Berry Sorbet for everything!

OK, this card needs a price tag - it looks like something for sale at an upscale boutique!! You're not supposed to buy the cards Julia, you're supposed to make them!!! ;) This is amazing and lovely, the monochromatic scheme is stunning, I totally love the colors and the little flower embellies!! Great job, and great challenge!!

Julia, this is so pretty!! I have a real weakness for polka dots and this is right up my alley. Thanks for a great challenge, I am on my way to do this now.
