Hi friends!
Here's a card I made for a couple of challenges:
Less Is More: Mainly Teal
Seven Hills Crafts: March Challenge, Tic Tac Toe
(patterned paper, pastel shades, die cutting)
The Flower Challenge Anything Goes
The Paper Players: Cut It
I wanted to use a couple of shades of teal, not just one, and was happy to find some patterned paper that tied up my colors pretty nicely. I was surprised how lovely teal looks with white! I think I've never made a card in these colors. I've heat embossed, sponged and then die cut Altenew Hennah Elements flower stamps and combined them with Stamping Up die cut leaves. The heat embossed sentiment is from Verve Stamps.
I accidentally used the sketch from the previous Less Is More Challenge which I think I entered twice... Only the sentiment is slightly in a different place. I think the sketch got stuck in my head! But what can you say... It's a good layout! :)
Thanks for popping by!
Nonni I am blown away by your card this week - such a wonderful mix of teal and those beautiful flowers are perfect for our cutting challenge! Just beautiful. Thanks for joining us over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card! The soft yet intense shades of teal and green go perfectly and really make the flowers stand out against the dramatic background. Loving the touch of paper too! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More and Seven Hills Crafts :)

ReplyDeleteSo stylish! I think this card has a rather gender neutral feel, I know some might be hesitant to use flowers on men's cards, but with this layout and the strip of paper I think the outcome is a card for any gender and age.
