My card uses a color challenge from the Colour Create blog. You were to use Pistachio Green, Aqua, and Powder Pink. I could match the Pistachio with Certainly Celery and the Powder Pink with Pretty in Pink but I did not like the match of Aqua and Tempting Turquoise. So I decided to go looking through my pads to see what I might have that I could use. I found a Prety Pastel set from Tsukineko that had Pixie Pink, Sea Breeze, and Aloe Vera. I liked these colors but did not have any paper to match them. I decided to create my own paper. I used the pads to apply ink directly to the paper. After I had my paper I used the Flower Cuttlebug dies to cut out flowers and the Sizzlits Little Leaves die to cut out leaves. After I had my flowers they looked so plain so I pulled out my stardust pens and punch to punch a center and add lines. I added buttons to the 2 large flowers as there was a bonus to add buttons also. I then just had to put my layout together. I decided to use Basic Black as my background so the colors would pop. The Caardvarks blog has a challenge to create a window card. I thought it would nice to put a window in the bottom corner and have a sentiment peeking through. I used my 1" circle punch and then stamped my sentiment in the window. I then off stamped the leaves over top of the sentiment.
