I LOVE this color combination - I hope you do too!!! I've been MIA - hard family stuff going on - a close close family member going through a health crisis, and moving my mom to a nursing home because we can no longer care for her on our own.....life is hard sometimes!! HAPPY to be back this week!! Happy Tuesday everyone!!

What a gorgeous card, Karen! As always your layers of texture and rich coloring come together in such a special card. Love your little white dots too. Your color combination and the dessert idea was really fun! I just wish I had brought more Pale Papaya to experiment with all of the other 4th colors that occurred to me as I worked with them.

So great to have you back, Karen, and I hope things have improved for your family. I love the way you used this week's colors, and the honeycomb background and the bees. The flowers go perfectly to complete the design!

The colors you've picked are pretty Karen!! It's nice to have you back and I'm sure creating this beauty made you feel better. I like how you used the embossed bg. The sprig of foliage is lovely, and the way you've colored your flowers is stunning. Hang in there and try to remember your blessings - one of which is your creative talent. :>)

Oh, Karen - this is gorgeous. You've put so much into this card it makes me think it must have taken you the better part of an entire weekend! Beautiful!
So sorry to hear of the hard season you're in. Hugs and prayers to you my friend.
