Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Certainly Celery, Close to Cocoa, Cameo Coral, Blush Blossom and White.
A coworker of Mark's is named Joy. Her sister is Hope. She has a brother named. Frank! My name is Faith. My sister's name is Hope. My brother's name is Frank! Needless to say, we have bonded! LOL! So, I OFTEN make cards for her. Right now she's in the middle of getting the company picnic ready for the end of the month. Sounds easy, right? WRONG! She has to rent a gazillion carnival games and rides. She has to coordinate the entertainment, and get prizes. And, do all her normal duties as well! Did I mention that OVER a thousand people go to the company picnic??? Yep, she's looking a bit ragged right now, and I decided to make a card for her.
The scene was made with peg stamps and VersaColor inks. I found PERFECT matches for the SU! Colors, too! (Umber, Sage, and Cinnamon) The butterfly is a Spellbinders' Shapeabilities die. It was cut out and embossed on Blush Blossom paper. I rubbed the Umber pad over the embossed areas. Next, I sponged in Cinnamon(Cameo Coral) for shading.

I think Joy will absolutely love this gorgeous card. I love how you always blend your colours so well. The embossing on the bg really adds to this card and also the little pearls and the beautiful ribbon. Wonderful job. By the way, where have you been this past week. I missed you. Glad your back...

Wow!!! this should take her mind off of the picnic for a bit. I love the main panel with the tiny flowers and the name, your butterfly is stunning and the bg is perfect.
You sure rocked this challenge Faith....
