Fab Friday #2

I was gone this weekend visiting family and needed to be efficient today.  So, I have made one card for three purposes.  I am using this card for two challenges and a gift.


The main challenge that inspired this card was the Fab Friday Color Challenge: So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Basic Gray.  When I saw these colors I was not sure what I would make, then I saw the SplitcoastStampers Technique Challenge for Rolled Flowers and it all came together.





Once I started putting the card together, I remembered that these colors were very similar to a wedding invitation that I received recently, so deciding on a sentiment was easy. 

The rolled flowers are simply a punched circle that I cut in a spiral and then rolled up.  I love using colors that are not conventional.  Instead of pink roses and green leaves, this gives a more vintage look.  Nothing says wedding like pearls, so I added them for the flower centers.
