First ever Dawn McVey challenge!

I just finished my FIRST EVER Dawn McVey challenge. I've enjoyed all of her color challenges and the awesome creations her other readers come up with. Today I wanted to create a birthday card for a friend of mine. These colors were so elegant together so I wanted to create a more elegant card. The sentiment is heat embossed with black embossing powder. I give Dawn all of the credit for that black embossing powder because I first saw it being used on cards on her blog!


Here is Dawn's challenge photo:

And here's the card I came up with:

Great job with these colors - I really struggled with them and finally gave up! That big bow is amazing, BTW!
