Watercooler Wednesday Challenges #105

This week it's a color challenge at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  As host this week, I thought some springlike colors would be a nice change to the snowy, wet, cold winter days many of us have been experiencing.  Whether you make flowers is up to you as this is a color challenge and the only requirement.  I was in the mood for flowers as I am so ready for Spring.

My card starts with a Very Vanilla card base to which I added a strip of patterned paper from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack.  The flowers and leaves were cut using the Botanical Builder Framelits Dies.  For my colors, I chose Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach and Rich Razzleberry for the flowers.  For the leaves, I chose Mint Macaron and Mossy Meadow.  On the Mint Macaron leaves, I stamped an image from the Botanical Blooms stamp set.  To the center of each flower I added a Metal Rimmed Pearl.  The sentiment is from the Rose Wonder stamp set and is stamped in Basic Black Archival ink.

  1. Good morning Marsha! Your card is beautiful! The colors you chose really make the flowers PoP. Makes me think of a hot summer afternoon and looking at the flowers in my backyard.
