I am starting off this post with a heartfelt Thank You to our men and women in the armed forces both past and present.  Most people are happy to have a three day weekend and don’t give any thought to the purpose.  So while you are celebrating an extra day off of work – please remember our servicemen and women who, with their bravery and courage, protect this great nation.

I also want to say that on June 2, I will be celebrating my first year anniversary as a blogger!  I am planning to celebrate with some blog candy so be sure to check in on the 2^nd to see what it is and how to enter!

Now to today’s card!  I planned on using the colors from the MFT color challenge.  So I went looking for a sketch and found the Fab Friday challenge.   I thought the colors were fabulous so I substituted rich razzleberry for ripe raspberry, pink pirouette for tickled pink, and lucky limeade for fuse green.

I made some background paper with the new SU! Bohemian borders stamps and my inks.  I am really excited about these stamps – so many ways to use them!  I alternated the different borders with the limeade, pink, and razzleberry.  I love these colors together – so fresh and bright!  Then I stamped the pear image from an old hostess set in limeade.

To keep the color scheme going, I used cardstock in all the colors and layered everything up.  A button and some twine and the card was complete.  I will have to remember this color combo for a future card!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I am off Saturday and Sunday but plan to be back on Monday.  Have a safe and pleasant weekend everyone!
