FINALLY - I was able to participate in another color challenge! I've really missed being able to participate - but with some BIG landscaping activities of late, when I've had time, I haven't had the energy... :)
When I saw Dawn's colors, I immediately thought of some of my favorite Anna Griffin patterned paper. The four-square layout of this card by LeAnne Pugliese gave me the second piece of my inspiration. The third came with the intended use of the card. My dear friend, Darlene, just visited me from Ohio and took me out for tea for my birthday. Afternoon tea is one of our favorite activities - and we had such a wonderful, relaxing time. I wanted to thank her for the visit and the tea and this seemed like a perfect opportunity.
Colors and Supplies:
Stamps: Tea for Two & Simple Little Things (PaperTrey Ink)
Ink: Dark Chocolate & Berry Sorbet (PaperTrey Ink)
Cardstock: Vintage Cream, Dark Chocolate & Melon Berry (PaperTrey Ink)
Patterned Paper: Anna Griffin
Other: Melon Berry Satin Ribbon (PaperTrey Ink), Flame Dew Drops (Robin's Nest), Square Nestabilities, foam layering tape (3M)
Hope you can take a few minutes for a cup of tea today - and thanks so much for looking!
This is really nice, I love your layout and everything, very soothing, lovely card!

Beautiful job with the colors! I love the LO and the dewdrops (I should've used those on my card...).
