Lovely Lily Pad

Hello All, 

For today's card, I combined some great new colors with a stamp set from a few years back. Retro Rubber Challenge #207 this time is "Anything Goes". This gave me a chance to play with a color combination I've been liking. Berry Burst and Bubble Bath look really good together, so I took a cue from some patterned paper and added Wild Wheat to these pinks. The stamp set I picked was from Sale-A-Bration 2020, Lovely Lily Pad, along with coordinating dies.
