Flowering Stems - Pink

Today's card is a new color scheme for an older design.  This time, I chose some fresh spring colors.  A cheerful card, sending encouragement to some of our church members.  Thank you to Laura for the "tweed" embossing folder!  

Card details:

• Card stock is Papertrey Ink (PTI) mint julep (light green), hibiscus burst (pink), and stamper's select white.
• Patterned paper is from the PTI royal velvet (purple) bitty big pattern pack.
• Embossing folder is Taylored Expressions tweed. 
• The flowering stems are from My Favorite Things dandelion greenery (retired), the little dots are from PTI corner adorner: January (retired), and the sentiment "thank you" is from Heffy Doodle down the line sentiments (retired),  stamped with PTI hibiscus burst and new leaf (deeper green) inks. 
• I added the purple flower centers with a Copic FV2 marker.
