Boy I really challenged myself with this card. I had to modify the colors as best I could. I discovered a new color challenge site. Colour Create has the color challenge to use peach and aqua.

I saw a card on a blog I read where they had used the Cuttlebug Stitched Circles embossing folder to form a panel along the bottom of the card. I wanted to give it a try and this is what I created.
