Thoughts and Prayers in Teal and Eggplant



I tried putting this stamped panel on an eggplant card base, and it really looked depressing. It looks much more cheerful (but not too perky) on a white base. The ribbon and butterfly and sentiment are eggplant. I love those teal gemstone flowers and how they fit right over the flowers on the branch, leading the eye to the butterfly.

This set is so easy to work with and so well designed for CAS cards. Bravo, SU!

Supplies
stamps: Thoughts and Prayers
cardstock: PTI white, SU taken with teal, elegant eggplant

  9. This is lovely, too---reminds me that I have stamped one of these and need to put it on my blog! I love all your CAS cards but this one is extra special, as I really love these colors together! And ones I don't use very often.
