I was inspired by the Forget-Me-Not challenge at Double D Challenges, specifically the blue colour and the floral theme. Here is their inspiration graphic.
I was also inspired by a card design I saw on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts' You Tube channel. Here is a list of supplies I used:
- Dies: Cheery Lynn Flourish Leaf Strip and Build a Flower 1, MFT Die-namics Sunflower, Top Dog Dies Pretty Petals, Elizabeth Craft Bunch of Flowers, Flower Set 1, and Flower Set 3
- Embossing Folder: Cuttlebug Geometric Rings (this is a new item - received as a gift)
- Clear Stamp: IO Sympathy Sentiments
Challenges:

Thank you for looking at my card! Wishing you a joyful day!
I must say this is a great idea for sympathy cards. I don't like only with grey or black. Love the bleu colour and the flowers.

These dies must have been neglected for some time, because I can't remember having seen these before. These flowers are gorgeous! I really love how this card turned out!
ReplyDeleteBtw, was it you saying that comment moderation would remove the prove you're not a robot thingy? You must have turned it off, because now I must choose images that fit the theme. It's been like this almost everywhere I've visited since yesterday, but perhaps not on the waiting moderation blogs? Not sure...
Another beauty for our Forget Me Not Challenge! Your Mom will love these. I like that this has all the dimension and texture, but still very easy to mail. Nice! Thanks again for sharing in our Double D Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThe possibilities are endless with those colors and flowers! Absolutely love it all!!
ReplyDeleteWow, another beautiful card and embossed background.
ReplyDeleteAnother beauty! The flowers are gorgeous!
