A Bloomin' Sketch

I needed a third card for an upcoming class and when I saw this sketch, I thought it might be just perfect, with the front panel being just the right size for the Dahlia from Bloomin' with Kindness.
I paired Lucky Limeade with Razzleberry and the fun chevron from Summer Smooches. I'm not sure about the woodgrain embossed piece paired with chevron, but wanted some texture..what do you think?

I think my new favourite sentiment stamp is from Petite Pairs:

    I like the partnering of the chevron with the woodgrain and agree it does add texture. The flower is stamped beautifully and I love the colors you chose!

    I'm sure glad I ordered more Lucky Limeade yesterday, Laurie! This card is gorgeous! The fabulous colors and that amazing dalhia are real eye catchers!

    What great colours, Laurie ~ that woodgrain looks fab with the Chevron, it's not really 'obvious' it just adds that touch of extra pizzazz. LOVE IT!

    I think you can never have enough woodgrain! I really have to force myself not to use my impression plate on everything because it makes everything better IMHO. And I love the color combo - very striking :)

    I do like the chevron and wood grain. Wood grain seems to be 'in' now, my upline is using it for everything!
