Well, I had originally planned this card for yesterday's color challenge (rose red, sage shadow, and APRICOT APPEAL). I have no clue where I got the idea of blush blossom, but that is what happened...I used blush blossom instead of apricot appeal. However, even though I messed up the colors, I am really happy with the way this card turned out and I am uploading it anyways- just not for the color challenge!
The mats for the large bg panel are rose red and sage shadow. The large bg panel is blush blossom. I ran it through my cuttlebug with the textile embossing folder. I then sponged rose red ink around the edges of the panel. The horizontal strip is rose red that is cuttled with the textile folder, and it's mat is sage shadow. I punched the thank you sentiment from Party Punches in sage shadow on blush blossom. I used the round tab punch to punch out the image. I created a ribbon tab using some ribbon from American crafts (it matches the sage shadow perfectly!) and attached the punched image on top of it. I then added an antique copper brad over the top of the sentiment. The main image panel is whisper white and is matted with sage shadow. I sponged the edges of the whisper white panel with blush blossom and then daubed the sponge up the center of the panel very lightly. I then stamped the stem image from Stem Silhouttes on the panel- I stamped the first image in the center of the panel, and then stamped it off several times. I then used the ticket corner punch on all of the corners of the main image panel. This panel is adhered with mini pop dots to the card front. Finally, I used my crop-a-dile to add the antique copper brads to the corners of the large blush blossom bg panel.
Thanks for looking and I hope you like it! I'm off to make something using the right colors this time!!!

It looks lovely!! You know, some of the most lovely cards aren't those for the challenges where we are under the gun to follow a formula - this card is all yours - and it is beautiful!! Love your main image, the ribbon and the use of the tab punch for the sentiment!
