These colors really threw me for a loop. I "never" would have thought to pair Real Red & Calypso Coral together. Great challenge Nancy to get us thinking outside the box. I stamped my flower first in Calypso Coral and the center in Real Red. Mounted that on Calypso Coral. Embossed my Real Red strip with the Swiss Dots folder. My main mat is dp from retried SU dp and my corners are from Memory Box. I popped up both my image and sentiment circle. TFL!!

Howdy neighbour! I know how you feel about the colour combination it stumped me at first too. But I really love what you did using mostly the green for the background. This one is going into my faves for sure!

Haha...my thoughts exactly about these colors! Clearly the light in your head is burning brightly - this is lovely. Your combination of these two colors on your flower is beautiful and you BG with the die cuts is the perfect complement. Beautiful card, Mary!

How clever of you to use a stamP for your triangle pieces in the sketch. Good job on both challenges!
