Blooming Love

I got the Blooming with Love stamp set last week for Mother's Day cards specifically, but of course Stampin' Up! gave us a very versatile sentiment with it that can be used with so many cards. I created this one as an "anytime" occasion card based on a tricky sketch by Jen at i{heart}2stamp.com with the color concoction set forth by Julie: Sahara Sand, Not Quite Navy, and Tempting Turquoise. I wasn't sure when I started whether I could come up with something I really liked, but then that's what makes it a "challenge", right?
As with most cards, it took on a life of its own and now is quite pretty. Speaking of pretty, I'm loving the Pretties set with its cheery white flowers (easily colored if you wish) and rhinestone brads.
