Thankful for You - Color Throwdown #76

Tammy is our hostess this week for the Throwdown.  Here are the beautiful colors she chose:

 

I chose to use my gorgeous flower from the Thankful Flourishes set from Our Craft Lounge.  I stamped it on the torn out sketch pad page and then 3 more times on tissue paper that matched the melon cardstock almost perfectly!  I'm so glad I've saved all the tissue paper from gifts I've received!  I only glued the tissue layers down in the center and then I ruffled up the edges, so now I think it looks like a camellia!

I used this wonderful sketch from Card Patterns:

And I'm linking here:

I don't know if you noticed, but I also used some leftover tissue paper for a little ruffle at the bottom.  Fun!
