This is my card for CC984. Chris is our hostess and she chose melon mambo, very vanilla and pecan pie for her color trio. Dessert option this week is anything goes.
I decided to try a Valentine card using these non-traditional colors. And for the dessert option I added a 4th color with fresh freesia.
My background is the Blooming Hearts cutting plate from Taylored Expressions. I cut it in pecan pie, melon mambo and fresh freesia. Used the die inlay technique and added hearts in melon mambo and fresh freesia.
My cute images are from the "little bits - pb & j" dies. I cut the peanut butter from pecan pie cardstock and the jelly from melon mambo. The sentiment is from the "we go together" stamp set and stamped on fresh freesia in pecan pie ink.
Hope you can play along with us this week. I want to see what you all do with these colors.

I love it! PB & J for the win! I would not have thought to add in Fresh Freesia but it is such a great look and definitely plays up the valentine theme.

Too, too cute! I love everything about this. The Fresh Freesia is a great addition and the inlaid die cut background makes it perfect for Valentine's Day.
