I had to do some substituting this week as I don't own any Rich Razzleberry or Peach Parfait, but the colours worked quite nicely :)
It was wonderful to use one of Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketches again as I just love her sketches and haven't had a chance to play along for some time. That being said, I promptly flipped the sketch to accommodate my ribbon LOL!
Since I still had Great Friend on my desk (actually it has never really been put away yet!), it was the perfect excuse to use it again...sorry....I just can't put these gorgeous Verve flowers down!! I stamped the flowers in Apricot Appeal and matted them on to circle and Label 3 Nesties.
In an attempt (note the word attempt LOL!) to break my habit of using Swiss Dots on everything, I decided to stamp one of the images from Verve's Accent Notes on the Eggplant panel for a bit of a pattern, and used my PTI medium scallop die (love this thing!) for the side scallops. A few black accents and I was good to go :)
The rest of the Team has lots of inspiration for you. You can check out their creations here:

Stunning card, Marisa! That flower is just beautiful so there'll be no complaints from me if you use it lots! I really like the scalloped border with the black pearls too x
I'm glad you can't put that set down--it's so pretty, I won't tire of looking at it! Great layout and I LOVE the background stamp you did--looks FAB!
Oh, this is lovely Marisa! You have me drooling over these flowers every time! I love the way you've layered the focal point, and I'll have to pull out my Accent Notes to CASE your gorgeous background!
So pretty, Marisa! What a great color combo! Beautiful job on the challenge!
Oh, what a gorgeous color combo, Marisa!! So glad to see you going outside the box ;) with the Accent Notes, instead of Swiss dots!! Beautiful work on this elegant card :)
love the background Marisa!! And you can never go wrong with that flower set!! I'm sure yours is as brown as mine now :) Love the white outline on it :) We're off to the Salmon Run today...and it's supposed to be sunny, so it should be a great time :)
so elegant and beautiful !!!!OH MY!!! your work is simply
a-mazing !!!!!!!!!
tfs:)
ooooh, beautiful! love the combination of shapes and colours!
Love your layered flower! Absolutely fantastic!
Lovely card! Your layered flower is beautiful! :)
I like how you matted your big, bold flower to make it the focal point of your card.
Ooh,la,la..Marisa, these colors are gorgeous together. Of course, the flower is beautiful and I really love your ribbon/button treatment
Great card Marisa. I love that flower!!!....and the little pearls at each scallop is a elegant addition! Love it.
This is oh-so-gorgeous!! I love how you dig deep and get creative with the color challenges, even swapping out colors for what's on hand! And your cards always turn out amazingly! LOVE that apricot appeal flower. So purdy all layered like that. And turning the sketch sideways was GENIUS! I just might have to copy you on that one... The vertical is giving me a little bit of trouble for some reason....
Fabulous use of these colors!!
You are always so good with these challenges.. I usually create and then look for a challenge.. I love the way you layered your flowers.. This is a great set..
Great CAS style, and personally I like the tiny pearls as accents.
