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!
Have a fabulous day and thanks so much for sharing a bit of yours with me.
