Merry Monday # 179

Welcome to another
Deanne has chosen a beautiful picture to inspire you using PINK, GREEN AND WHITE!


As soon as I saw this, I knew I wanted to use those cute bottle brush trees from Papertrey.
I have a friend who has a collection of these and they are ALL colors, so really anything goes with those trees!
Here is the photo for your inspiration:
 
stamps:  PTI Joyful Wishes
Ink:  PTI sweet blush, soft stone (trunk) hibiscus burst (star & sentiment)
watercolor paint for background 
Pretty Pink Posh sequins:  lime sorbet and pink blush

Go check out all the cards from the amazing Design Team and join in our challenge!
We would love for you to make at least three comments on the other participants of the challenge!  Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to seeing what you make!
Heart Hugs and have an awesome week!

Awesome card Colleen and I am a little bit ashamed that I only just now found out that you have joined the team. It was about time I think you Always played along with them and you often won and/or got into the honorable mentions. So great to see you in the design team. It's such a pity I can't find the time anymore to play along Always loved it.
