Color Throwdown #482

Hello!  I am popping in here with a quick post today for the Color Throwdown Challenge #482.  The featured colors this week are Pink, Kraft and Grey.  I was able to pull a card together very quickly for this with several items that were already stamped and laying on my desk.

I had previously stamped the sentiment from Altenew's Wings of Hope Stamp Set.  Since I helped design this set, I know all the sentiments by heart.

I started with the panel of Bristol Paper that had been embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder.  I die cut that panel with the largest Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle Die.  I die cut the next panel from Papertrey's Soft Stone Cardstock which is a soft grey color for the mat and created a top folding horizontal card base from Papertrey's Classic Kraft Cardstock.

I had already stamped the tulips with Sweet Blush, Pale Peony and Berry Sorbet as well as the little butterfly in Sweet Blush.  All I need to do was arrange the flowers above the quote, add a few Nuvo Crystal Drops in Bubblegum Blush and this card was finished.  I did let the Nuvo Drops dry overnight.

We had a death in our family recently and although I sent a card, I plan to send this one as well.  It was a pretty big shock in some ways because this person had cancer but was recently given the all clear from his doctor -- just a few days before he died so it was unexpected at this time.  Anyhow, I didn't want to send the same card but I do want to let the family know we're thinking of them.
