Hi everyone!
Joanne has a pretty color challenge for us at The Paper Players this week!
I wasn't sure which way to go with this...so when it doubt.... I reach for flowers. I figure you can never go wrong with flowers! I tend to always use my favorite colors when I make cards, so color challenges are SO good for me. Usually they are never colors I would think to put together, and when I see the end results I am always pleased! I really need to get out of my comfort zone more often.
I used my Poppystamps Petal Ribbon die. I cut it out in all four colors and did a bit of layering. Then I added some sparkly enamel dots. The funky scallop rectangle is from Reverse Confetti's Stamped Note 3, I adhered it to a My Favorite Things Blueprints 20 stitched rectangle.
The sentiment is from one of my fave Birthday stamp sets, Penny Black's Sprinkles and Smiles. I use it ALL the time!

Beautiful design and I love the colours together. Great sentiment too. xx
This is really lovely Laurie, you should be pleased with it! (I know I would be too!)
This is an excited group of colors to use. I like that you did the base card in the light blue, as my eyes when right to the sentiment. The flowers are a wonderful accent. Thanks so much for playing along with us at The Mod Squad Challenge. Good luck, and hope to see you again.

I love this....there is so much visual movement with the stems, and that die frame is fabulous! I agree...that sentiment is pretty cool. Might have to look for that set myself!
I went with flowers too Laurie - a popular choice this week! I love your ribboned blooms with their enamel dot centres - just perfect for my colours this week!

Fabulous use of the colors, Laurie! I love how your card is mostly soft blue with little spots of the other colors. Beautiful!

Fabulous card, Laurie! I love the ribbon stem for the flowers--such movement! The flowers really pop on the soft sky background and that sentiment IS a great one!

Laurie, I love all the different dies you used to create this beautiful card! Those flowers are just perfect and the enamel dots are perfect! Super card, My Friend! XX
What a beautiful, elegant card!
Such a pretty card! The colours are really great, and I love the curve to the flower stems.
This is super cute! I like how you placed the green elements and the flowers in this creative layout.
Laurie, I still haven't used my postage stamp die.... you inspired me to get it out and use it! Your use of the different dies is fabulous and I love how soft the card feels. Fab card
