Also, when linking up your card using the linky tool at the bottom of the post, please link to your specific post, not a generic link to your blog--all of the "rules" are in the right sidebar, so check 'em out to be sure.

Here is my card with the colors. I was dying to use the beautiful new Blooms 'n Buds releasing tomorrow from Reverse Confetti. I stamped the blooms in the gorgeous new Iced Aqua Premium Dye ink onto Cloud White Cardstock and then added some accents with Black Licorice ink. The card base is a top folding A2 card with Iced Aqua cardstock. 

 I tucked in some yellow leaves. I mounted my bouquet onto a Lacey Scallop Confetti Cut and embossed a birthday sentiment from the Celebrations stamp set along the bottom. I tied on some pretty Charcoal twine in the upper corner of the main image panel. Here is a close up of the flowers. 

For more inspiration, check out the other design team members' creations below, and get inky! And don't forget to join us over on the CTD Blog. We can't wait to see what you create with these new colors.
