Friends Card - Colour My Heart Challenge

The colour challenge this week at Colour My Heart includes Peacock - one of my favourite colours in the CTMH palette. After some thought, I decided to combine winter and spring since we are having a terribly cold winter here right now. It was very later arriving but now that it is here, we have been hit hard with a ton of snow and very cold temperatures. These colours are perfect for winter But, I am also thinking toward spring so this card represents a little of both - blooming flowers but in a winter colour theme :) 

The flowers are in 4 layers - the same flower but in 4 sizes to give them depth. The lightest circles from the Blue Enamel and Glitter Dots are a perfect match to Crystal Blue. I even broke out the spray pen for this project! For some reason, my Peacock stamp pad tends to look very dark - almost like navy blue... 


This is the inside of my card. I had some extra Cricut pieces left and decided to use them on the inside as well.

Loving the layers of the flowers and the different design papers used for each layer...love the sentiment inside, and your paint splattering or spray at the bottom of the card is a great touch. Lovely card.
