Remake: Maryse Carrier & Color Blocking

I salvaged the focal images from a couple of cards I never liked enough to give away. I used a color-blocked background that I fell in love with when I saw the card made by Kristine McIntosh. https://stampingwithkris.com/2012/10/23/a-hostess-gift-4/
I made two cards, and I still have enough pieces to make two more!

CARD: 4 ¼” x 5 ½”
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, 110-lb cardstock (base)
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, 80-lb cardstock (embossed pieces)
