birthday bouquet...

Hello friends!! Seems like ages since I last posted.  Used to be that I posted almost every day.  Not sure how I did that since now days it seems like I can barely get anything done!   I have actually made things over the last few days but can't post them until later.  However, I did get this little card made today.  I used the current ColourQ combo and the new AEIHeartU challenge - birthdays.   I do not have the graphic for the challenge because I cannot save it to my computer for some reason.

When I saw this week's ColourQ combo I wasn't sure that I was going to play along.  The colors are ones that I would normally use if given the choice.  But I thought I could make them work using the Avery Elle set Thanks a Bunch and I was right.  Especially since I decided to use the Summer Starfruit color as my card base.  The color is a rather garish and awkward color, but as a base I think it works rather well.  The white panel was cut using my PTI Tipped Top die... love being able to cut the angled panel and not have to guess at the right proportions!   And I love the Thanks a Bunch set!  So fun to build your own beautiful bouquet!

Thanks for stopping by...
