Barbara has chosen some beautiful colors that I think of as really elegant. I say that tentatively because there have been many weeks that you all surprise me with interpretations that that couldn't be more different than my own yet they are all spot on, wonderful approaches to the challenge.
Anyway I took a detour in the design of this card when I opened a new pack of metallic specialty paper. The brushed "rose gold" color is a perfect match to the metallic Blushing Bride ribbon. It lends a real sparkle to this pretty bouquet die.
I can't wait to see what you create!

Yes, indeed, on the rose gold! That's actually the color of metallic that came in the kit I used. You have a great eye for these things, Chris! What a lovely card. And like other commenters, I'm gonna have to get some of that ribbon and paper!
