Hello friends. I am making cards again and this one is for my daughter's birthday in May. I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the color teal as she loves teal.
I used Altenew Darling Dahlia dies for the pretty blooms cut from SU Pretty Peacock and the leaves from Granny Apple Green. I added some black enamel dots to the center of each bloom. I thought the black/white pattern paper went good with the teal color so I added a strip to the left of the card base, as in the photo. The flowers are in a slightly different angle but I hope they are o.k. I added a small strip of black to the edge and then arranged the flowers for the circles in the sketch. I thought about embossing the white but left it plain and stamped an older SU sentiment to the bottom right.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
These teal flowers are so pretty with the black and white checks, JoAnn! I know your daughter will love this!

ReplyDeleteI think black and white together is a good accent to a bright color like your teal flowers, JoAnn. What a lovely card you made for your daughter.
