Playing along with this month's CARDS Blog Challenge. Thankfully I had some MME paper that gave me the aqua colour I needed but had to sub in certainly celery for the chartreuse. Must say I really do enjoy the colour combo. 
I paired the colours with this week's Retro Sketch and kept things on the CAS side. The embossing folders provided the texture and I pulled out my favorite PTI flower die as my focal embellishment - happy sigh :) Just wish I had the linen embossing plate to give that white panel a little something, but alas, it is still on my wish list. Maybe it will crossed off on my birthday.
Short and sweet today as lots to get done. On a cleaning and purging binge and have to strike while the iron is hot!
Half way through the week and I think my body is now speaking to me again after making it wake up so early again. Oh to be a morning person LOL!

I've been awake since 3:00 a.m. My eyes pop open about that time every morning, lately. Gee Whiz..that's getting old.

Unfortunately mind is still on the craft room desk-lol! :)
Love the colors on this card. So peaceful and calming even with the bright green. I am a morning person, but I envy the people who are not sometimes as I start totally dragging at 8:30 PM! Hard to go anywhere at night but I am great company at breakfast - LOL!
