I couldn't resist making a card with flowers using these colors and of course I added a bit of gold metallic as well. ;-)
The April card kit at Simon Says Stamp had me swooning with the pretty floral stamps, so of course I inked up one for this card. It was gold heat embossed, along with the sentiment from the same stamp set, and then I did some simple coloring of the flowers with yellow Copic makers. I die cut both with the coordinating dies, then went to work on the background.
Pink ink was ink blended on a panel of white cardstock, darkening the edges while leaving the center a lighter color. It was embossed with the Floating Flowers folder that came with the kit, then I used both gold and white to splatter although the white is very subtle, even in person.
After the panel dried, it was adhered to a 4.5" x 6" card base. A pretty die cut circle was layered on, then the flower and sentiment were added. With all the gold splatter I didn't think any bling was needed.
So what are you inspired to make with these colors? We sure hope you'll share your wonderful creation with us, the challenge remains open until 9am EDT April 29th.

Love every pretty little thing about this card, Stef!
I second Lisa: you've combined fabulous elements to create a gorgeous card! I can see why this kit caught your eye - and you've showcased your favourites wonderfully. I need to try making an A6 card at some point...
