Mixed Bouquet Thank You

I made this card for my next door neighbour to give to a friend of hers. She wanted it to match the wrapping paper she had, which was white with pink flowers. So finally, I got around to using my Mixed Bouquet set which retired at the end of March. I based the idea around a sketch challenge I found on the Elite Challenges Blog, and used my Colour Coach Wheel to help me choose the colours. I stamped the circle images onto Pretty In Pink using Versa Mark, then embossed with clear embossing powder for a subtle look. I used my Stampin' Pastels to colour the flower and leaves using an eye shadow applicator (I find this gives me more precision when colouring using my chalks). I also added shadow to the Thank You oval using my Stampin' Pastels.
It took awhile to put together but I was pleased with the end result. The matching envelope was the finishing touch! I hope they were both happy with the card!
