You Say Tomatoe, I Say Tomato ~ BBB14

by

Good morning and welcome to this month's Bring Back Beautiful Challenge brought to you by Flourishes Stamps. Our theme this month is the beauty of monochromatic color. I chose hues of orange and red for my card with the complimentary color of green. My neutral is cream.

We hope that you'll join us today for our challenge. You have until the end of September to link your challenge card to the Flourishes Blog. When uploading your card to online galleries, please use the keyword BBB14. At the end of each month, the design team chooses our favorite cards and awards with recipients with a True Beauty Blog Badge that will be announced for our next challenge on October 1.

For more inspiration, please visit the blogs of the Bring Back Beauty Design Team. Thank you so much for visiting me today and God bless you.

Here is my card that I would like to share with you for this challenge using a brand new set from the August release of Italian Garden. I included several different views of the card, including the inside of the card and the outside of the envelope. I need to start getting into the habit of lining the inside of my envelopes. It only takes a minute and adds such a personalized and beautiful touch to the card for true completion.
