Happy New Year! It's now 2017 and at the Flower Challenge this month, we are getting of to a nice challenging start and are asking you to make a card using BLUE and YELLOW.
I've made a card with NO stamping and NO colouring - I mean, seriously, that is really rare for me, but I am super happy with how it turned out.
I started by cutting some coloured card bases, one in blue and one in yellow. I then cut a panel from blue and yellow card stock using my MFT Floral Fusion Cover Up Die.
It was simple to attach the panel to the front of the card base and then I decided to get busy and add some embellishment with my new enamel accents. It started out small and then grew, but I rather like the Aboriginal Art look with all the dots. I finished it with a simple sentiment from CB Many Mini Messages.
My eldest daughter (aged 5) helped me make these and she got her own to add enamel accents to one too. She is a huge fan of pink and so that had to be added, but I was amazed at how well it worked. She loves card making and that's what we will be doing for her birthday in a few weeks.
So there you go. Are you up for it? I know you are! Let's start 2017 with a bang and get some colour going! Head over to the Flower Challenge Blog and add your card!
Here is a list of the supplies used on this card. I have signed up to affiliate links on some products (currently only Simon Says Stamp).
