Super beautiful, don't you think?!  Who doesn't love a great Teal & Yellow combo?!

Here's how I was inspired, I decided to use the color combo this time:

cardstock:  recollections/aqua, stampin' up hello honey, papertrey ink vellum  stamps:  essentials by ellen/bohemian garden & amazing women  ink:  ranger/archival/black, hero arts white dauber, fresh ink harvest  other:  american crafts chalk marker, your next stamp gum drops

I love that cake and designed a tall & skinny card!

I used Essentials by Ellen/Bohemian Gardens!  The white detail in the middle of the bloom is an American Crafts chalk marker that I picked up in the T$ spot!  Do you see the faint white polkas on the white base?!  I used my Hero Arts white dauber...it's to soften up all the bold black ink that I used.  The sentiments?  Essentials by Ellen/Amazing Women!

I even decorated the interior.  Let me share a secret.  I thought I grabbed a sheet of Stampin' Up Coastal Cabana and didn't really pay attention.  It seems I grabbed a Recollections sheet that feels like 40 lb weight....adding the extra panel on the interior helps, a smidge.
