CD 293 - Flowers for May

Welcome to this week's Colour Dare challenge! 

This week, the challenge includes just two colours plus silver - I don't really think of silver as a colour, but more of an accessory. Of course, black and white can always be added. 

I chose to use one of the gorgeous papers from the Beautiful Friendship paper pack as the background for my card, splitting it into three panels. The flowers were stamped using just an outline on the reverse side of the old Whimsy Fundamental paper from a couple of years ago (and then die cut) and the sentiment was stamped on the current Whimsy Fundamental paper. Using Silver Glitter paper, the leaves were die cut using an open design. 

I stamped the white cardstock using an old background stamp. My intention was to stamp it using second generation stamping but it was still really dark. Even third generation was dark so this is actually FOURTH generation stamping - and it is still quite dark! I was also going to use this as a background on the inside of my card but it would be far too dark on which to write a message... 

Come and join us at Colour Dare and show us how you use this very interesting palette this week. This challenge will remain open until Thursday, May 31 at 10PM EST. 

I am also entering this card into the Three Amigos challenge for May - May Flowers.
