Flowers for Aunt Irene

My Great Aunt Irene is 98 and been having some serious health problems.  Thankfully she went to a different Doctor and after a short stay in the Hospital she is home alone and doing fine!  She is such a trooper and was such a great friend to my Father as he battled cancer 3 years ago.  I try to send her a card every week and this one went in the mail this morning.  Another Swap from my Room mate Mona.  Having cards on hand is such a Blessing!!
Very Simple and love the color combo of Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe. 


I wanted to make a Triple Layer for the next Stamp a Stack using these colors, but this layout has many possibilities, so here is my stepped up version:

I love this color combo with a bit of Smoky Slate added!  Summer Silhouettes was stamped randomly along with a flower from Flower Shop on Shimmery White card stock.  I wish you could see the sparkle!   The 3 panels were embossed with the Pretty Print embossing folder from the Holiday catalog. I used a few pearls as accents and the Sentiment from Best of Greetings.  The Label punch and Scalloped Oval punch frame the Sentiment.
