Well did you survive the cold weather this weekend? I hope you were able to stay warm and stamp a little. I started pulling some goodies for my blog candy. I will take the picture later today and post it so be looking for it.
Today’s card is very cute (IMO). I began with the image from the Diva Coffee Break Designs blog. I than started thinking about the sketch and pulling it apart to to see what I could come up with. I thought the panel on the bottom would be good to put a saying in. Then I just needed to choose my stamp sets for the other panels and I was set. I wanted to use the daisy looking flower in Fifth Avenue Floral so I decided to use a red, black, and white color scheme. I stamped the verse in black and layered it with red and black. I then stamped the flower in red on the image panel, cut it out, and filled in the center dots with gold gel pen. I also stamped the image in black on the red to pop on the top. I stamped the heart pile from Loads of Love and punched them out. I wanted the middle circle to stand out a little so I used the gold gel pen and traced over the hearts. Punched out a black circle to layer the hearts on. When I put the panels on the card it still needed something, so I stamped open dots in black for the background. I added ribbon in black and white polka dots and my card was done. Here is the sketch and my creation.
Okay this is one I really like, the color, layout and of course your choice of flowers. Will have to copy this one and put in my file. It is an eye catcher for me. Sandy
Cute combination of elements! Thanks for joining the Divas!
