CC616 - Mary's Color Challenge with dessert to use something new. The denim ink was good for the jar; that left the pear and melon colors for the stems and flowers - perfect. The flowers are two-step stamping. First, I stamped off for the base and stamped full for the added details. I used chalk inside the jar for `water'. The Jar of Love set & matching Framelits are brand new. Not too bad for a first time. I've been itching to use them, but I've been so busy planning DD's wedding (3 days away now). Today I needed a little paper therapy to relax. Thanks Mary for the fun colors and the nudge to get out my new toys.
WT617 - Something old, new, borrowed, blue - Thanks Sabrina for the creative challenge.
Old - Pastels have been a staple in my stash for a long time, but rarely used anymore.
New - Jar of Love stamps and matching Framelits
Borrowed - Color Combo inspiration from the Color Challenge
Blue - Dapper Denim ink, blue chalk and blue denim paper
I had fun breaking in these new items! Now I am calm, relaxed & ready for the wedding rehearsal tonight. Thanks for the fun challenges and for looking at my card.

I like your pretty red flowers that seem to pop against that gingham strip in the background!

I like how you highlighted with the blue denim ink on the jar. The threee horizontal ribbons really make the rest of the card stand out and enhance the integration of colors! Awesome!
