Birthday Card - Dawn McVey's Color Challenge

Well, it's my first try taking Dawn McVey's Color Challenge #21.

Dawn's challenge was to use the following colors:

I'm new to challenges, but I think it's good in that it forces one to think a certain way or try something he/she may not have tried. I reckon that's why they call it a "challenge", eh?

Dawn mentioned that we don't have to use PTI colors, and that's a good thing because I only used Aqua Mist from PTI. :) I had no cream color paper (something I must remedy soon!) but found Very Vanilla (Stampin' Up!)  :)

Here's my card...

For the flower, I used a "Star Flower" punch and punched out two flowers. I then inked the edge of each petal and then stacked them, alternating the top one ever-so-slightly.

Here's a close-up of the flower...

Here's a close-up of the sentiment... a stamp from my stash (sorry I can't remember where I got it! :) )

Thanks for looking and/or commenting! :)
