PTI Designer Image Challenge

Hey there, I'm back one more time today.
I got the oppotunity to play along with the Designer Image challenge as part of Papertrey Ink's anniversary celebration, so I wanted to share my quick little card with you.
I chose Melissa Bickford's image. I don't know if it was the colors or the romantic feel, or what, but that image just jumped out at me, and I had to use it.
Here is my card:
I do love that color combo.
I stumbled across a sheet of My Mind's Eye paper that had similar colors, and a bit of a "lovey" feel to it, so I decided to use it. The pattern was a bit bold for the smallish focal image, so I attempted to tone it down a bit by placing a Coverplate: Quatrefoil cut from Simply Chartreuse cardstock over the patterned paper.
The mat for the "love" image was made using a Spellbinders Lacey Square die, cut from Hawaiian Shores cardstock. Then I have a simple border of Hawaiian Shores saddlestitch ribbon layered with the Heart Die border, cut from Raspberry Fizz cardstock.
A bit bolder (color combo wise) than my norm, but it was fun.
I'm looking forward to the next challenge, and hoping I get the chance to play along.
