I was inspired by the Urban Wildflowers Pallette - which is our featured color palette this month! I substitued the Vanilla for Sugar - but I think they would be even lovelier had I used the Vanilla instead! I love the new Seattle color - it is a nice warm grey that is oh so trendy right now! The Lido is so luscious not too mustardy and not too bright for a yellow. And then there is always my fav Bermuda! You can get the Urban wildflowers paper pack thru the end of the month - which features 4 sheets of each color: Seattle, Pebble, Vanilla, Lido and Bermuda. It is just $7.65!
I tone on tone stamped our Mesh background stamp onto the Bermuda layer - it is hard to capture in a photo but it adds a nice texture to the card. I know it will be a go to stamp for a ton of creations!
You can see it just barely right below the knot in the ribbon. There are also more really light Bermuda flowers in there too.
I love the tone on tone Chevrons on this card! They are so trendyright now - you will see them everywhere. I wished I had the Pinking edge dies - that would have really been a nice finishing touch for the edge instead of tearing - but I like the torn edge too.
I am looking forward to an all day crop on saturday - they are always SO much fun! I have a few projects in mind to work on but will more than likely feel the need to pack my entire a|s collection so that I can play! I hope you have some craftiness in store for your weekend!
Consider joining my a*muse studio team! The $50-75 stamp bonus with the starter kit makes a great deal even more awesome! Not to mention that a|s is a fabulous company to be a demo with! The support from the company is top notch - including tons of support with workshop ideas and even kits for workshops! They provide the projects and even samples if you want them! SO do not be afraid to take the plunge and give it a try. Email me if you want to chat about it!
Gorgeous cards!

I love these cards. I am very inspired to go play in my craft room now. Soon as I finish vacuuming! Dusting can wait.
