Karen has chosen a beautifully soft trio of colors this week. Dessert is something metallic. I think any of the metallic colors would do beautifully with these colors but as you can see I decided to go towards the warmer colors and added gold with Very Vanilla.
You may recall I'm a border lover so this new border die with the slightest curve was really beckoning me. The smallest flowers are Pool Party. I tried adding some Pool Party die cuts to better add this color but my CAS sensibilities told me to stop...
Take a break from the traditional fall colors this week and play along with us. I imagine we are going to see some beautiful holiday cards with this combo too!

Gorgeous. I can see why you love that new border -- it's beautiful and adds the perfect touch on this card. Love the embossed panel too. Your flowers look so sweet dressed up in the challenge colors. I'm glad you didn't add the others -- your CAS sensibilities were spot on. Wonderful card.

The soft simplicity of this card is lovely, Chris! The embossed vanilla layer plays perfectly against the pink and gold, and the flowers are beautiful!
