Playing with Colors

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Thursday !!!

A little slow getting started this morning. My mood surely fits my card this morning, he, he! Kidding aside,  I think that this card makes a cute belated card for today's colors- Tempting Turquoise, Basic Gray, and Whisper White for my Neutral. I used the Perfect Pennant die cut frame, stamped the image in Whisper White and punch it using the 1-3/4 circle punch. I added ribbon, jumbo brad and glitter for embellishments. Hope you like it.
Hop over to Jean's blog ( Bear Hugs and Inky Paws) and see how she played with these colors.
It will blow you away how we did the same stamp set and did not even know it.

I love the idea of making digital images smaller or bigger to fit the size you wanted. This is especially true on this card. I made the cutout flower bigger than the background flowers.
