I have the pleasure of being your hostess this week. I hope I chose some fun spring colors for you. Even though I'm in Southern California we've had cold weather (even snow!) recently and I'm ready for some sunshine.
I planned on doing a floral but wasn't quite sure exactly what I wanted to use, so when my new dies and embossing folder showed up in my mailbox I decided to go with these.
I debated about adding another color flower (blue) but in the end went tone-on-tone with Watermelon Wonder. It is one of my favorite colors and I hated to see it retired. Since I think it looks great with Flirty Flamingo I seized the opportunity to use it again.
I hope you will join us in the challenge this week!

this is a beauty Jeanne- love the bold detailed background embossing and your floral images are so pretty - flamingo pairs so nicely with the watermelon colors.

Spectacular. Love the embossing and the die-cuts. The Watermelon Wonder does look amazing with the Flirty Flamingo. Beautiful, beautiful card. Thanks for the inspiration and the fabulous colors this week!

Jeanne, I fave'd this card this instant I saw it! I always struggle with what to do with a full-panel deeply embossed and beautiful layer. Your oval with die-cut flowers and a greeting is inspired! I learned something wonderful from you today, so thanks!
