Karen is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has changed things up a bit for us with some lovely pastel colors: Mint Macaron, Petal Pink, and Pool Party. The dessert option is Metallic.
I spent last Saturday in an online class with six amazing teachers from around the world. The class kit included several stamp sets and die sets and was great fun. I will admit I still haven't finished any of the cards from the class, but I did use two of the die sets with this week's colors to make a pretty thank you card, based on a variation shown by Vicky Papaioannou.
I die cut a circle in the top white layer, then dry embossed with the subtle embossing folder. I cut a circle frame from gold cardstock and mounted this layer on a white card base with foam tape. I cut the flowers and leaves in this week's colors, then sponged the same colors of ink on each one to give them a little more depth. Then I molded them with a stylus to give dimension. Arranged the flowers and foliage around the opening, and added some Nuvo drops to the centers of the flowers and on the card here and there. I die cut the greeting twice in pink and stacked them on the gold background layer.
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!

Fabulous card. Love the soft texture in the bg with that ef and the popped up panel. Your flowers are so lovely -- all that sponging and molding really paid off. Beautifully arranged; Beautiful card. Fav'd
