I received this stamp set free at convention and have rarely used it, so I "challenged" myself to use it in today's SCS Color Challenge of Chocolate Chip, Pirouette Pink and Kiwi Kiss. I also used Beate's Weekend Sketch:
Unfortunately, I seem to be needing get-well cards, so I used a sentiment from Papertrey's Mixed Messages. The DP is some I had in my stash, don't remember what company it is! The image stamped on the background paper was inked in Pretty in Pink first; then I colored right over top of the stems with a Chocolate Chip marker.
- Stamps: Eastern Blossoms, Mixed Messages, PTI
- Paper: Chocolate Chip, WW, Kiwi Kiss, Misc DP
- Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pirouette Pink, Pretty in Pink, Kiwi Kiss
- Acc: Marker, Circle Punches, Taffeta Ribbon, Blush Pearls from Kaiser
Edited to add: Here is a photo of the inside of the card, which I changed after posting!
On a more personal note, I would covet your prayers for my daughter. I got a phone call in the wee hours of the morning (never a good thing) that the house she & her boyfriend were renting was on fire. Apparently the coal stove caused a chimney fire. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but she will need to find a new place to live! The Lord was watching over them and my prayer is that she recognizes that! Thanks for visiting today & be sure to stop back tomorrow for the Color Throwdown Challenge!

Very pretty card! I like how you angled the DP in two different directions. That's a neat idea.
That is a BEAUTIFUL card! I love the pearls.
The first thing that caught my eye was the angled designer paper - what a great idea - one that I'll be using a lot. The card was beautiful!!! I'll be praying for your daughter - When my girls were babies, an old grandmother at church told me that when your babies are little, they walk on your toes - but when they are grown, the walk on your heart. I've remembered her saying that so of often over the years -- and she was right.
Beautiful card! It's perfect for both challenges. Thanks so much for playing!
I am glad your daughter didn't get hurt by the fire!
Hugs and smiles
Really, really pretty, LeAnne. Love how you placed the flower over the branch.

Forgot to mention that I'm glad your daughter and her friend are ok. That is such a scary thing for all of you to go through!
OMGosh, your card is beautiful as always! Love the opposite direction of the diagnonals!
I hope your daughter is doing OK! I'm so sorry they've had to experience such tragedy, but thank God no one was hurt! Hugs and prayers!
