Mary gave us some lovely garden colors to work with this week. I am so ready to plant flowers! So for my card today, I brought out a stamp set that is seeing ink for the first time, the same with the dessert of DP. I stamped my image using the challenge colors onto my WW rectangle piece & matted it on Highland Heather. I popped it up over my 2 DP panel pieces matted on Highland Heather as well and wrapped the dotted kraft ribbon around that before attaching to my kraft card base. I brought a very old, long retired SU set Riveting for my sentiment circle piece matted on Gorgeous Grap and popped up as well. Last I attached some Gorgeous Grape gems. Thanks Mary for these colors so I could "finally" have the excuse to use this set I've had for awhile. TFL everyone!!

Beautiful card! We used the same paper, but different prints. Love the patterns you used and I like how you used the Crumb Cake (neutral) plaid on the side. Fabulous use of the challenge colors!

Oh, Mary, this lavender card is so sweet! Love your pretty dp and those triple pieces of lavender! Who would even know that the sentiment is old, it looks new the way you did it up~

Mary, this stamp set and coordinating DSP are just so perfect for this Color Challenge and you have used them beautifully. Your ribbon, circle greeting and gems are lovely touches.

I love lavender, so you know I'm gonna love this card! I especially like the way you chose different DS papers and how you combined them. That circle greeting with gem is a sweet finishing touch!

Beautiful card, Mary! This really is pretty dp and the lavender looks lovely! The sentiment looks terrific in the circle, too. I am yet to use this kraft ribbon, it looks fabulous with this set!
