I made this the other day, but as I have had my MIL in staying with us this week, I never had a chance to upload it until now!
I was inspired to make this because i got happy mail that day!! I had won a Flourishes set of my choice, and had asked for the Thank You set, and it magically appeared in my mailbox! Insert BIG smile here!!
It also happened to be Thursday, so I played along with the WT challenge which was to use a color combo wheel or website to choose a color combination for the challenge. I loved this idea, and went over to http://kuler.adobe.com/#themes/mostpopular?time=7
and made this color combo. I called it Spring Promise.
Translated into Stampin' Up! colors: Taken with Teal, Bravo Burgandy, Handsome Hunter, Certainly Celery and Not Quite navy. Hope you like it!
It was so much fun coming up with this color combo, i think i spent more time on that than actually making the card. Of course then, I matched up my papers and colors to work with and it all came together.
Needless to say, I looove my new Flourishes set!
Thanks for looking and have a creative night/day!!
