I recently received an e-mail from a fellow Demonstrator about a new color challenge blog called Color Me Beautiful. She invited me to check it out and play along with the color challenge each week if I wanted to.
I needed to make a sympathy card, so I decided to use the beautiful colors in the first Color Me Beautiful Challenge. Here are the gorgeous colors and the inspiration photo for the color combo:
Here's the card I designed. Enjoy!

Michelle, I absolutely love it! I really like the two layers of the embossing folder. The way you placed the leaves kind of extends a curved line from the framelits shapes. So glad you played with us!
