I've been messing around with this card for the Flower Challenge for a few days now. I bought this set from The Stamp Market last year. I think this is only it's second outing. I bought it for the eucalyptus, which I like. The flowers, not so much! I can never seem to get them in a color combination or position on the card that I like. Anyway, this is the result after a few attempts.
I used the two peach tones from the graphic along with the soft yellow and gray. Eucalyptus is typically a more silvery sage green, but I think this one works. I pulled the gray to the front of the card with the pretty Pinkfresh sentiment. What do you think?
I appreciate your thoughts and your visit. I hope you're enjoying your weekend. We're enjoying a much needed cool down!

Well, I think you figured it out perfectly! it matches the color challenge to a "T" and I think it's beautiful!
Lovely card. I love that embossing folder you used ads awesome texture!
Just love your peach flowers & how you embossed the label and the background - so pretty!! I don't see any struggles :)
Beautiful colours and that embossing folder is gorgeous ♥
Really lovely card, Lisa. Your floral arrangement is so pretty. I completely understand the struggle as I have been there before many times!
What's not to love here, Lisa? This is cute and I love the arrangement -- I'm also swooning over your colors!
I think you pulled all the colors from the graphic in beautifully Lisa and the card is awesome! Sometimes we're our own worst critics, but you pulled it all together and the card is perfect! Love the arch, the eucalyptus, and yes, even the flowers! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at The Flower Challenge! Hugs. :0)
there is so much joy for the eye to see. your peach tones, the embossing, the gray and touch of yellow all come together in a lovely card.
Lisa, I love that you've brought that set out to play again - it's just too pretty to stay tucked away! I love how you have incorporated the lights and dark shades of peach from that graphic - and OF COURSE that you included the gray! Such a gorgeous card - thanks for sending it over to The Flower Challenge!

I think the arrangement is lovely, Lisa, and I love the eucalyptus also embossed in the background. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.
This is beautiful, Lisa! I absolutely love how you embossed the tag as well as the background!
I would say you've done a great job with the colors and design of this card. The arch gives these flowers a graceful place to rest. The design is perfect!
Pretty flowers and I love that embossed eucalyptus on the tag and background!
Gorgeous! I love the way you've "twined" the embossing folder and flowers around the arched panel.
So soft and pretty. The flowers look fabulous!
Lisa, you captured the colors perfectly. Beautiful card my friend!
I love how you chose the peachy shades Lisa and your design is fab and full of texture! Thank you for coming to play with us at The Flower Challenge! Vicky x
