Mango Beautiful Day ~ CCMC553, TGIF204, SUO219

Hey stampers!  Today I'm sharing a card that takes in the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge #553, TGIF Challenge #204 Blends Markers, and SUO219 Coloring challenge. 

I loosely cased this card made by the amazing Dena Rekow.  I loved the layout and neutral with a pop of color, so that's the direction I wanted to go in.  

I started out stamping the cluster of flowers from {Wood Words} on a piece of Wood Textures DSP and then ran the whole thing through my big shot with the Subtle TIEF.  I stamped the sentiment from {Needle and Thread} on a 1 1/2" strip, also from Wood Textures DSP and adhered it in the middle of the main panel.  I stamped the flower from {Beautiful Day} in Memento ink and colored it with my Mango Melody Blends markers.  I colored the center of the flower and the leaf with light Crumb Cake and light Smokey Slate. The whole flower was fussy cut.

I then cut some leaves out of vellum from the retired Rose Garden Thinlits and layered them behind the Beautiful Day flower after it was popped up on dimensionals.  

Next, I layered the main panel on a piece of Gray Granite matte and also a piece of Crumb Cake.  The whole thing was then layered on a So Saffron card base.  

Lastly, I spayed the entire thing with Champagne Shimmer spritz.

Here's a list of my supplies.....
