Life - Papertrey Chicks Challenge

First of all, Happy Mother's Day!!!

I'm finally getting a chance to play this week's Papertrey Chicks challenge. It's a color challenge with these colors:



I love that color combo and here's what I came up with (all supplies are PTI unless noted otherwise).

First, my card base is Soft Stone. Then a large panel of Stamper's Select White card stock on which I stamped the large image from Fancy Flourishes in Spring Moss. Then I stamped images from Life in Pure Poppy, Orange Zest, and Hawaiian Shores. The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, then I tied a bow around with Hawaiian Shores Saddle Stitched ribbon. The upper left corner looked a little bare, but I didn't really want any color there, so I went with clear Dew Drops and I think they worked. The entire white panel is up on foam tape. I'm using Mercy's Tuesday Sketch #72 for my layout.

Thanks for stopping by today!

~Supplies~
Stamps: Fancy Flourishes, Life (PTI)
Paper: Soft Stone, Stamper's Select White (PTI)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Pure Poppy, Orange Zest, Hawaiian Shores (PTI)
Accessories: foam tape; Dew Drops; ribbon (PTI)
