JAI 770 colour challenge - Layers of Beauty

Handmade card using Layers of Beauty stamps set and bundle. Made by Diane Barnes - Independent Demonstrator in Sydney Australia - colourmehappy -- card challenges - stampinupcards

Hello & welcome to this week's Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week is a colour challenge of pretty, soft pastels - Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather. It's a little bittersweet though, as it's also my last project with the team after just over ten years creating for JAI. Time flies!

I'm so grateful to have been part of this wonderful challenge team. Many thanks to all the JAI team admins who do a huge amount of work to bring the challenges to you, and to all past and present teamies for their friendship, encouragement, and fabulous creations. Thankfully I'll still be able to play along with challenges as I can.

But back to my card. I've used the Layers of Beauty stamp set to create a pretty, floral card for a friend who's going through a really tough time. Here's how it turned out.
