I already uploaded this card: CC240 Birthday by LynniePoo at Splitcoaststampers for today's Color Challenge of Apricot Appeal, Bermuda Bay and Chocolate Chip and this week's Fall-to Layout. However, I wasn't pleased with it, so I redid it. Here is my revised version. I made the main panel smaller with a smaller mat. I put the sentiment where it 'belongs' according to the layout. I had to use a different stamp for the sentiment, because the first one was too over-powering with the smaller background panel. What do you think?
I wheeled Forever Flowers with Chocolate Chip and colored with markers - Bermuda Bay and a Marvy marker called Pale Orange. (I still don't have Apricot Appeal.) I matted with Bermuda Bay. The sentiment is stamped with Chocolate Chip and matted on Apricot Appeal. I added a brad to make the sentiment piece just a little bit longer.

Yeah, I like this one better too, altho both are pretty. Something about the focus on the smaller matted panel works. I work with a Card Ministry group at church and this one will be a super easy one for our less-than-crafty gals to put together. I love that color blue! Great work.
