CTD#226 - With Sympathy

 Hello friends!  Are you ready for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge?  I hope so because our hostess Denise has chosen some pretty colors for all of us to create with this week.
 For my card I used the Papertrey Ink stamp sets Rosie Posie, Think Big Favorites and Turning a New Leaf to create a sympathy card for some dear friends of mine who lost their father.  I started out with a garden green card base which I embossed with a PTI impressions plate, then added my white panel that I had stamped with my sentiment, stamped off leaves and perfect plum dots.  Next I added my die-cut roses with coordinating leaves and a few small pearls surrounding them to finish my card off.
Be sure to check out what the other design team members have come up with for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge!
