Paper Blooms Challenge #1

Today is the start of the Paper Blooms blog challenges. This week's challenge is both a sketch and color challenge using lavender, green, and white/cream.

One thing I really love about Leah's blooms is that some are already embellished, like the one at the top of my card, and some are unadorned so you can embellish them yourself. I chose to added a punched vellum butterfly and a Dew Drop to mine.

Stop by the Paper Blooms blog to play along with this challenge. If you participate, you'll be eligible to win a set of gorgeous flowers from the Paper Blooms shop.

Stamps: Beautiful You (Verve)
Paper: Pale Plum, Mellow Moss, PTI white, vellum
Ink: Mellow Moss
Accessories: flowers (Paper Blooms), Martha Stewart royal butterfly punch, corner rounder punch, Cuttlebug Houndstooth, Dew Drop (Robin's Nest)

    Even though you used more layers than you usually do, this is still definitely a CAS card. Again, adorable little flower accents.
