Merry Monday Pink and Green

Yesterday I used Papertrey Ink's Twig Wreath to make an actual wreath but I had commented that I had purchased the set more for the flowers and other builder elements, not the wreath.  I also fell in love with Leigh Penner's use of the flowers along with the set Stacked Sentiments (which allowed me to justify the purchase of that set too!)

Then I checked Merry Monday's newest challenge - green, pink and white - and I knew what I was going to do!


I grabbed a piece of my favorite Christmas paper from this year - it's the plaid from Taylored Expressions Build a Scene Christmas Paper Pack which happens to be pink and green (hopefully the fine group at Merry Monday will forgive me for the pop of burgundy).  I matched up inks - and this is what I ended up with.

I do wish that I wouldn't have used the very lightest pink in the big flower - it gets a little lost - although it's a little better in this close-up.

  10. Oh, your card is gorgeous! Love, love the colorcombo, the stacked sentiment is gorgeous and so versatile too.
    Totally justified indeed, ha, ha.
    That's what I tell my husband every time he asks if I really 'needed' the new stamp or die. :-)
    Thanks for sharing, hope to see more of these stampsets in the future.
    Bye,
