Raspberry Suite #10

When the page loaded on Dawn McVey's blog I actually gasped when I saw these colors and my husband said, "What is it?" I then had to embarrassingly explain that I really like the colors on this page. You should have seen his face. Although, God bless him, I don't think it shocked him at all that I would get excited over some colors. But I mean, come on, look at them:

So I once again had to find a melon/salmon color in my CTMH arsenal. Huh. We really need to get more colors in this family. So I opted to use first and second generation Sorbet. I hope it qualifies. I really wanted simple and elegant.

I absolutely love the look of a sentiment stamped over a light image. I just don't have that many verses that look good over an image. PS I am loving that Vanilla Cream cardstock!

Details: all CTMH unless noted

Paper: chocolate cs, sorbet cs, vanilla cream cs

Ink: Sorbet (first and second generation)

Stamps: Joy Forever, flower from Anna Griffin

Other: chocolate organdy ribbon
