Papertrey Ink April Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, Here is the card I made for the Papertrey Ink April blog hop. I had seen similar layouts on the Internet. Debbie Olsen has one and there was another one, but I can't remember the site. This card is fun to create using different color combinations, but I found through trial and error that it is best to limit the colors to two plus the green. Otherwise, it gets too busy and overwhelming.
You can see, there are lots of ways to use different colors on this that look terrific together. This is a card I made for my daughter's birthday that we celebrated over the weekend.

    Oh, very cool to use all the different flower stamps and dies in a bouquet. Must try that! I really like the color schemes on both cards.

    These cards are so clean and fresh looking. The combination of flowers and die cuts are really striking. I like how one of the raised flowers 'hangs' over the ribbon and tag detail.
