Paper Dolls Challenge #36

This weeks Paper Dolls Challenge is from my friend Jen! She picked an adorable color combo from a quilt she recently purchased! The colors are just too fun!  I made this card at our Stamping Away weekend because we had a little sneak peek of Jen's colors!  :)

Here is my card...

The embossed background is from a new Sizzix Folder (Country Foliage), courtesy of Amy's enabling!  I love this one!  I am pretty sure you are going to see me use it...a lot!!  Those leaves are also from a Sizzix die!  I really like the small leaves!  Those rolled roses are MFT dies!  LOVE!  And this sentiment is from the new Paper Smooches set!  This really is a great set to have if you don't already!  Lots of great sentiments in such fun fonts!

Here is Jen's color inspiration pic...


Hope you can join is over at the Paper Dolls blog!  These colors are so fun to work with!

My sister and her fam have been here this last week!  We have had so much fun playing outside and going to the zoo!  It definitely has been a busy weekend!  Glad she could visit and sure wish she lived closer!

One more big thank you this week for all the sweet emails and comments on the CAS-ual Fridays DT!  You guys are so sweet and full of amazing support!  I truly love this papercrafting community!  I hope that you will all stop by on May 6th and play along with our first challenge!

Thanks for coming by today!

    Those flowers are delicious! I am waiting on my new silhouette machine to arrive and I've got a cut file for those rolled roses but if it doesn't turn out like I want I'll HAVE to get that MFT die.

    I loved watching how this card came together and your use of the argyle stamp.....it's so subtle but I LOVE the look it gives!

    **You need all 3 sizes my dear! :)
