This is such a soft and lovely color combination but remember that any hue of these two colors is permitted.
I was searching through some dies and came upon this fun set that I'd bought a couple years ago (it was the Spellbinders March 2022 Large Die of the Month which I bought on sale). It's not available anymore but I thought it would be a great design for these colors. And I always feel better about buying new "schtuff" when I've made an effort to use the older products. I have made other cards with this but not for a team challenge.
I started with the turquoise panel, which was cut using a retired slimline rectangle die, then die cut the white flourished base twice for layering and adhered it to the panel. I inlaid all the white leaf pieces but left the large flowers open. Next came the all the pink flowers that were layered on top. It was time consuming but so satisfying when complete. I chose the gold foiled Happy Birthday and finished up with a few gold pearls. I hadn't made a slimline card in a while, so it was a fun change-up.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I encourage you to head over to the challenge blog to see all the gorgeous creations by the other team members and our fabulous guest designer Kim Miller! The challenge will remain open until 9 am Sunday June 14th. I hope you'll join us!

A festival of flowers happening all over your card, Stef - and how pretty they are in their various hues of pink and set atop the turquoise background. Wonderful inspiration for our challenge, as always.

I haven't made a slimline card in ages and your card is making me wonder why, as it's FABULOUS Stef!! I'm loving all the swirls and blooms and how they POP off your turquoise background! Bold, fun and beautiful my friend...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
I'm impressed with this fantastic garden, Stef! What patience to get all these pieces arranged in such a lovely way! The turquoise makes a great background for these awesome shades of pink!
Those beautiful dies are perfect for a slimline card! All the time and effort you put into this card was certainly worth it. It's just gorgeous!
The time and effort to layer up those blooms was ertainly worth it Steph. A fab showcase of the current colours. :)
Stef, I certainly can see why you nabbed this die up when it went on sale. What a gorgeous die cut and card. The shades of colors are perfectly placed throughout your layout. I also love that you left some of the pieces in the dies as well. Wonderful job!
This is gorgeous, Stef! I love all the layers of die cuts on here and it's such a beautiful use of the challenge colors.
In my head I wish I could come to your house and check out your stamps and dies, or maybe just watch you create fabulous cards. This is a work of art Stef, I love where you went with these colours! So beautiful!
