CTS218 Thinking Of You With Tropical Chic

Before I got ready to do this challenge, I had pulled out 

my retiring in color paper and I am determined to use them before 

this June. I grabbed the Berry Burst, Powder Pink and the gingham 

Lemon Lime Twist (three of 5 colors retiring June 3rd).

I use the Berry for the base and layered a piece of Whisper White

 on then a strip of Powder Pink and a strip of Gingham Gala DSP

in Lemon Lime Twist. I happen to have my Tropical Chic set 

out and so the card came together with ease!

I stamped the flowers in Berry and Pink on white card stock

and cut them with the matching dies.

I also stamped the leaves on white but I used first Lemon Lime 

ink and then sponged a bit of Granny Apple Green on them

before cutting with matching die. 

For the sentiment, I happened to have it stamped in black on 

the white banner from the Beautiful Day set but did not use it for

another project and it was just laying there waiting to go somewhere!

I do not throw much away!

I finished this card off with some artisan pearls!
