Wild Flowers

Wild Flowers

The Color Throwdown Card Challenge this week is #492 and involves the colours Red, Pale Yellow and Grey. 


My design for this card challenge is as below:



To create my design, I first found a White card stock (4 x 6") ready-made card base (Top folding).   I then trimmed another piece of White card stock to give me a good (1/4") border (5 1/2 x 3 1/2") on which I would stamp my design.  I used  my Memento Dewdrop Inks (Lady Bug - Red, London Fog - Grey, Dandelion - Yellow, Tangelo - Orange and Sweet Plum - Purple) to stamp out the design.  The background was stamped using a scattered pattern rectangle repeatedly.  The flowers were two different design wild flower stamp which were stamped at different heights to create a meadow of wild flowers.  I then cut out a sentiment in Red card stock "Thank You" on the Big Shot and adhered this to the top left-hand corner of the card.

This was a fairly quick and simple design today for my card but it was very effective I hope you agree.  My project was now complete.

On the envelope I stamped the sentiment "Happy Mail" and the duck delivering the envelope image so that the recipient would know that they did not have a bill!  😀

I would love to know what you think about my projects, so please leave a comment.  Thank you.

Till next time, keep crafting!
