Recently I saw someone post a few cards using this very retired stamp set and it made me long a little for it (sorry I can't remember who it was & didn't star their posts). I got Papertrey Ink Summer Sunrise & Lemon Tart a few weeks back (they are such nice yellows) so I decided to make a monochromatic card and not color the flowers *GASP* what? me not color? I know...but I was real pleased with allowing the sponging & embellishments make the flowers stand out. What do you think? My DH said I should have put just a little purple on the flowers? really? there's no purple anywhere on the card, he said oh the flowers look purple to me. Verdict? Bad (NO) lighting in the stamp room! Ugh...it's so frustrating. I do have an OTT light directly on my desk but no real good lights anywhere else in the room.
I used page plans sketch #10 FANTABULOUS! for my layout. I LOVE me a sketch challenge! I also used Gina K Designs Comfort & Peace for the sentiment.

This is very pretty, and I love the monochromatic look here! Such pretty colors!!
ooooh, I love this monochromatic look you've got going here~I'm not certain about the purple, but it's nice to hear that your DH is at least interested enough in your work to give you his input...gotta shove my work under my hubby's nose and say *LOOK--DO YOU LIKE IT?!* in order for him to take notice at all--typical man. Well, I love this card, Donna-it's really gorgeous! tfs!
