Hello friends. I have a new card I made for a friend who deserves many thanks. I used the colors from the Color Hues Challenge - Pink & Aqua, and the theme from The Flower Challenge - Thanks.
I also used some new goodies to make my card - SSS Rustic Layering Flower, PTI Cornered: Lace die, and an older Altenew Bold Thanks die. I die cut the corners from the white panel and added it to a panel of SU Coastal Cabana. I lightly blended some SU Pretty in Pink ink in the center where I wanted to place the flowers. I die cut two sets of flowers and leaves from white card. I blended Coastal Cabana ink on the stem & leaves and then snipped the leaves from the stems so I could place them where I wanted them. I blended Pretty in Pink in to the centers of the flowers and also the die cut centers. I glued all the layers together and place them to the top of the white panel and then glued the stems under the flowers. I glued the leaves to different spots on the stems. I die cut Thanks from Pretty in Pink card and added it to the background layer cut from vellum. I glued the sentiment across the bottom of the stems and my card was done. I really like the finished card.

Happy Stamping,

Such a beautiful card JoAnn! I love how you put the pink in just the centers of the flowers...so delicate looking and pretty! And those lace corners are fabulous! You have definitely made the challenge colors SHINE and also made a perfect thank you card! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at both the Color Hues Challenge AND The Flower Challenge!

ReplyDeleteI like the ink blending on your layered flowers, JoAnn. This is a lovely way to say thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove the bold greeting and of course your pink florals, JoAnn. That lace die-cut makes for a nice frame. Thanks for playing at Color Hues and Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThe lacy corners (I think I have that die) made a great background to show off the beautiful pink flowers, JoAnn. This is a wonderful thank you card. Thanks for sharing it with us at The Flower Challenge.

These flowers are so pretty with the embossed detail and sweet pink color! They go beautifully with the lacy corners with aqua peeking through! A beautiful card to inspire us at Color Hues, my friend!
