Hello friends ~ I wasn't planning on posting today, until I saw the Time Out Challenge word prompts. My card fits into three categories so I thought, why not!
I filled the front of the card using the beautiful Peony Bouquet stamp & die set from Altenew, sticking with a monochrome color palette, minus the leaves.
It's hard to see, but I stamps a diamond pattern, yellow on yellow to make a subtle background. The filigree sentiment from Papertrey Ink is stamped in dark green.
I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:
Time Out Challenge ~ using prompts "birthday", "floral" & "monochrome"
Just Us Girls ~ Die Week
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Krafty Chicks Challenge ~ Birthday
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm loving this pretty shade of yellow and the fancy sentiment you added to those elegant peonies! Fabulous card, Birgit!
ReplyDeleteElegant florals indeed! Soft and beautiful and in my favorite color! I see the diamond pattern in the background. Looks like an oldie SU background. I have a stack of those that need to see some ink again, sigh. I'm so glad you decided to post this today, Birgit!
