Hello friends, It is my third week as guest designer at Just Us Girls and this is Color Week. I love these soft and pretty colors and I think you will enjoy using them on your cards, I know I did.
I cut a panel of ivory card with Pinkfresh Studio Diagonal Stitched Plaid and mounted it to the ivory card base. The flower from Ink to Paper Into the Blooms: Dahlia Dies is cut from SU Blushing Bride. I inked the edges of the petals and shaped them before assembling the 3 layers, added a gemstone to the center and mounted it with foam tape. The leaves are cut from SU Soft Succulent and I also inked the edges. Birthday is stamped in Soft Succulent with The Greetery Birthday Blooms and die cut with the matching die. Happy is from a retired SU set. These are mounted with foam tape. For a final touch, I added 3 small clear rhinestones. I love the final card with these pretty colors.
JoAnn...love the elegance of this card. The embossed background is perfect. And the flower center jewel immediately catches your eye. Thanks so much for being with us this month!

ReplyDeleteThe dahlia set is on my wish list, JoAnn. Mainly for the leaves because they are wonderful but your flower is gorgeous in the pale pink. This is such a lovely card.
