Poppystamps May challenge is Tickled Pink. Most of you probably know pink is my favorite color, so there's no way I was going to miss this challenge. Love the unique look of Nordic Majestic Bloom die set. 
I found a green spritzed wc panel in my scraps box that was just the right size for the branches. Decided to use my very neglected Fireworks! sprays for the pink since I have Angel pink and Rosebud. When I layered the pieces of the bloom, I realized that they need to have a fairly solid color. Luckily, I have the matching Memento markers and the beautiful sheen still shows through. I also used a green marker for the little piece at the bottom of the bloom. 
The embossed background was made with a very old Cuttlebug folder. I found 2 shades of pink gems in my stash for the finishing touch. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
