Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 91!
This week, it's all about patterns, specifically plaids, check or polka dots. The small image is below - please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information.
The colour scheme from Colour Dare was a challenging one for me - these are not my go to colours, for sure! The plaid/checkered/polka dot element also really made me think.
I started out with a set of layering stencils but used a different colour scheme (still on the Colour Dare grid). Since there isn't a die for this floral grouping, I stamped it on masking paper and fussy cut it - UGH! I had done all the ink layering and wanted to use a stencil that I created on the Cricut to add dots around the flowers. After I had stencilled the dots, I removed the masking paper - or TRIED to remove it. It stuck terribly to the paper, lifting all the ink. I had to start again. The second time, I chose a different colour scheme and didn't use masking paper at all to add the dots. I just carefully stencilled around the image.
The sentiment was stamped in the three darkest colours used for the flowers - Desert Rose, Cinnamon and Peacock. I also splattered the areas around the flowers with the Peacock Shimmer Brush. The center panel was cut down slightly so it could be mounted on Peacock cardstock. The last step was to add some Stickles around the flowers.

Your Slimline card is wonderful, Alyson! I love how the floral design draws attention with its stunning color. Love the subtle background, too.
I love your background on the card, the stencilling is lovely. I also love your colours you chose for the flowers. beautiful.
Beautiful card. Love the stenciled background for DT's trail mix and the color combination of your beautiful floral colors.
For these not being your "go to colours" you sure did them justice! Quite the stunning card!
