Friday marked another episode of Craft Roulette and the parameters this week were as follows:
- slimline card, black and white plus one other colour, a bouquet and dry embossing
I had to think about how I was going to add flowers with just one colour - the leaves and the flowers presented a problem. I decided to use trilliums and although their leaves are green, for this purpose, they are black :)
I cut several trilliums on my Cricut and adhered the pieces together. Since the centre of trilliums (Ontario's provincial flower) are yellow, that was my added colour. I embossed the background piece with a woodgrain embossing folder and then layered the flowers on the left side. I die cut a sentiment from white cardstock three times and stacked it. The centres of the flowers were brushed with the Clear Shimmer Brush.

You've solved the problem brilliantly by adding black leaves Alyson! It really makes the flowers pop. Yellow was a great choice for teaming with the black and white too. Vicky x
