Magnolia-licious April Color Challenge



I can't believe it, I am posting two days in a row. I actually started and finished this card in only a few hours. Janet at Magnolia-licious gave us this challenge and I wasn't sure about the colors. After I looked at my SU stamping pads and saw how pretty Tempting Turquoise and Green Galore looked together, I gave it a try. I decided to make my own green and turquoise paper sponging the white CS with the SU colors. After I embossed with a cuttlebug folder, I cut and embossed with a Nestabilities square. I also embossed more white CS with another cuttlebug folder to layer my image. The beautiful cake is from the Magnolia Love Collection and you can buy it here from Diana Crick. None of my Copic's matched the blue and green, but I found that I had matching Prisma pencils. Well, again I am not happy with the pictures I took, so I will post two. One was taken outside and one inside. I can't decide which one looks better. What do you think???
