CD 615 - Birthday Flowers

 Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge 615!

The colour grid is below - choose at least three of the colours shown. 

I used Lemonade, Jade, Sapphire and Capri. 

The geometric background was stencilled from light to dark using Lemonade, Capri and Sapphire inks. That was trimmed down to fit an A2 card with a Sapphire border. The floral image was cut on my Cricut in shades of yellow and green and adhered to a vellum oval to soften the background. The sentiment was white embossed on blue, added to a piece of vellum and then placed across the bottom. A twine bow was tied at the base of the flowers and I added some clear dew drops to finish off this pretty card.

Come and join us at Colour Dare and show us how you interpret this challenge. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy, 

Alyson

Stunning card! Love the background how it goes from light to darker. The velum is also a great touch behind the flowers.

Stenciled background looks great, and certainly less time than a die piecing. Beautiful background for your floral.
