Jeanne has such a fun color challenge for us this week! Seaside Spray, Garden Green, Crushed Curry plus another color of your choice. I couldn't resist adding a new color in my palette: Polished Pink.
All of my cardstock started out as white and just blended the colors for the background and for cutting out my dies. Since my Seaside Spray didn't stand up to well against the Garden Green, I did add a little more of it blended onto the white background. Even the greeting (I will use this for Mother's Day.) was embossing on a scrap left over from cutting the leaves.
I was planning to just use a simple white card but then started playing around with a set of border dies that I had misplaced for about a month ago and couldn't resist adding this curved blended edge.
Thank you so much for taking a peek! I hope you will be able to play along with us this week. What color will you add?

Lovely card Chris! It's wonderful to see the pansies in pink and yellow. I have these dies and all I can see in my mind are yellow and purple. I'm going to have to think outside the box and use them!

Gorgeous! The layout, ribbon, dies, and blending of colors is fab (so is that new pansy!).
