Always

I made today's card for two different challenges. The first challenge is a sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You and the color combo is from last weeks Mothers and Daugther's Creations. I thought these colors were an interesting combo and decided to see what I could come up with. I missed the deadline though. I hate when I miss a deadline and especially when you like the card. I think it turned out really cute. The colors are Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Bordering Blue and Always Artichoke. Yes, Always Artichoke is on there you just have to look really close. It's the circle behind the always stamp. 5 colors is a lot to add!!! I used Stampin Up's Always set. I stamped the sentiment and the always circle in Close to Cocoa. The flowers were stamped with my Versamark pad on the Bordering Blue. I also used the Sanded background on the So Saffron layer. The pumpkin pie scallop was made with the new scallop punch from SU. I added some Certainly Celery ribbon and a button for the final touches.
Thanks for looking and have a happy friday!!!
