Every year, when a new SU idea book and catalog is due to come out, my group always gets together to swap cards made with the new hostess sets. The sets I used for this one are from the 2006-2007 catalog. What's cool about this card is that it incorporates a color from each of the 4 color families, yet they work well together.

This card uses the Embrace Life stamp set with the Ginger Blossom designer paper featured in the 2008 SU Spring Summer collection. The central flower was colored in using the watercolor wonder crayons and the aqua-painter accented with a rhinestone brad.

I designed this card for one of our monthly demonstrator shoebox swaps. In our group, I'm notorious for elaborate creations. This is about as simplistic as I get.
