When this lovely card popped up in my Pinterest feed today, I immediately thought of this week's challenge colors of Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, and Coastal Cabana. So, I shameless CASED this gem switching out the leaf dies to similar styles in my stash: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/441634307218755468/
To match the SU colors better, I die cut the leaves with white cs and then used Copic markers to color them. I swapped out nuvo drops for the small decorative leaves; used a brick ef for the bg; and changed the sentiment to a birthday greeting, which is popped up on foam tape.
I think this color combination is such a warm, happy, tropical vibe. It's certainly one that I see as very versatile and could work for both masculine and feminine card. So thanks Karen for a great combo that I will definitely be using again and again. TFL.

Beautiful! Love the design, the coloring of the leaves and the Nuvo drops in 2 colors. Very creative. Even the papers match perfectly. The BG dry ef looks fabulous...

(Once again I am posting after another Betty! Not planned.) Thinking of why I like this card, I realized I like flowers/plants without the blooms. (Blossoms? I don’t know flowers. The colored part with petals.) Which may sound as odd as when I recently asked my son if he would like a trip to the beach and he answered, “Only if it’s overcast.”

The way you used these colors is just Wow, Debbie! How I love the bold leafy pieces and then adding the nuvo drops to enhance these colors even more so was pure Perfection! Gorgeous birthday card with lovely texture~
