Today I'm sharing my design team card for our new challenge over at As you See It where it's time for a colour challenge chosen by me:
I chose this inspiration photo because it contained three of this year's new in-colours. I considered creating a similar night sky, but then decided to go in a completely different direction and actually create some off-the-wall florals using this week's Atlantic Hearts Challenge layout. I'm also playing at Festive Friday (I chose blue, ribbon and patterned paper) - take a look:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
I've been wanting to use this background paper from the Florals In Bloom set for ages and since it features two of this week's colours, it as the perfect choice. I stamped the flower stems in Secret Sea and diecut my trio of Timid Tiger flowers using the Pretty Florals dies and mounted them on a Cloud Cover rectangle cut with a Nested Essentials Die:
I didn't have any ribbon that matched so used a clever trick to remedy that - I coloured some white linen ribbon with a Secret Sea Blends marker and hey presto - matching ribbon!. A simple stamped 'hello' and a trio of sparkly enamel dots in Pumpkin Pie complete my card.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:
