Sherbet Colors with IN{K}SPIRE me

I had some fun with this card.  It was layers upon layers of color and texture.

First, I had to start with a great sketch.  IN{K}SPIRE me Challenge #40 fills the bill.  The color choices are what I had out, so I just went with it.  The base card is actually the peach, which I stamped with a flourish stamp with orange.  I added the pansy lavender which I decided to leave blank.  The pale yellow rectangle is stamped with a small mum stamp from Stamps of Life in bright yellow.  I think it makes a nice background.  I won the edge punch that I used on the blue patterned paper I won from A La Card Monkey.  I layered pink rick rack ribbon on top of that.  The flowers in the corner are chipboard that I cut out this past weekend.  I had several sheets of chipboard in black and white.  I was experimenting with the dies that I had to see what works with it.  I found that the thick dies are all the work with them. 

Because the chipboard is white, I was able to sponge them in orange and pink and add a cute pearl.  Now for the sentiment, those are rub on letters.  This is a slight adjustment of the challenge.  I didn't think I would be this excited in using up so much of my stash, but I am trying to reduce it.

I mentioned in a previous post, I mentioned that the only embellishment I've purchased this year is some purple ribbon that I got at a resale shop for 49 cents.  That is what I used at the top of the card.
