Dynamic Duos #6 - Sparkly Regal Blossoms

Hi y'all! It's time for challenge #6 over at Dynamic Duos! As this is the second week of the month, we are focusing on a soft and subtle color combo. This time we are creating with  Regal Rose and Basic Gray. I love this combo! Although ANY combo that features a shade of pink is always a great mix in my book. :) 
I was also inspired by this week's sketch over at Stamping 411. You know how much I enjoy their awesome sketches! Although after I got the card put together, I realized I didn't really separate the panel that the circles are on. Ugh! I hope thar is ok, gals. Next time, I really need to print the sketch out and not rely on my horrible memory for the design. (*note to self)
I used the Betsy's Blossoms stamp set for the flowers, although the sentiment is retired. I never get rid of any sentiment stamp sets. You never know when you are going to need them. In creating this card, guess who realized that she does not have any ribbon to match Regal Rose? This girl. What is up with THAT? I had to dig for some retired Basic Gray ribbon to finish the card off. I tried something a little different for the bow, using the cover of the new Stampin' Up catalog for inspiration. It adds some fun dimension to the card along with the embossing.
Hope you will join us at Dynamic Duos and play along with this fabby color combo this week. Be sure to stop by and see what the rest of the lovely ladies on the Design Team have created this week:

  22. Great card - I like how you used that sketch and the Dynamic Duos colours to come up with it.
    I got my card all ready to upload on my blog tomorrow and see that it has some green on it so it won't qualify. I'll be more careful next time!
    Cheers, Karen
