YELLOW FLOWERS

For some reason, I don't enter many of the challenges that I always joined for so many years.  But today I came across Color Hues Challenge and Bonnie had suggested yellow and green.  Yellow is not one one of my "go to" colors (I very rarely wear yellow either).  So I created a card this afternoon in yellow and green!!

I began with SSS Vine Canopy embossing folder.  Then used an old stitched rectangle die with foam tape to lift it up at bit.  The flowers and leaves are from Altenew's Houseplants set and the sentiment is no longer available.  I used fossilized amber distress oxide to give the flowers a little depth and added yellow enamel dots from Hero Arts.  I used Altenew's Reindeer Moss cardstock for the leaves - it's my favorite "go to" green!

 

Thanks for stopping by.

PRETTY PINK PLANT

Wouldn't it be lovely to have this pretty plant sitting on your patio?   Fortunately tho, it can sit on your mantle or a table.  I created my card today for the current TicTacToe Challenge with the prompts flowers, layers and foliage.

Altenew's houseplants dies and their brick wall embossing folder were used on my card.  Shading was done with distress oxides for some depth.  As you can see it's a gate fold card.

Our challenge ends on 17 July so hope to see your card(s) there in the next few weeks.
