Hello, I hope you are well.

I loved the flowers I made with some Sale-A-Bration paper and the Flower & Leaves punch recently. So I decided to make more with the Abstract Beauty designer series paper and created this card…

I love the gold in this paper…

I then realised that this was pretty close to this week’s Creative Colour Challenge but not close enough to be my entry…

Please CLICK HERE to see the striking card that Victoria has created with these colours and hopefully you will join in the fun too.

So I changed it up so it would qualify…

For this version I stamped the flowers with Magenta Madness ink and added a little colour to the petals with Wink Of Stella, which also gives a fabulous sparkle! I embossed my Night Of Navy layer with the Pretty Flowers folder. My sentiment comes from the Flowers Of Friendship stamp set too but I cut it with one of the Beautiful Shapes dies.

I splashed a bit more Wink Of Stella onto my card and finished off the flowers with Opal Rounds in the centres…

I’d love to know which version you prefer! Just comment below.

We’d love you to join in with these weekly colour challenges. You don’t need a blog, you can simply upload a photograph of your creation to take part.
