Good morning, peeps. Yeppers, we have reached mid-week already. Time flies when you're making cards and here's one I made for you today! I thank Ann Schach for her inspiration.
My card base is Basic White with a mat of DSP from the True Love Series. Another pattern is adhered to that. Then I matted the same striped pattern on a Basic Black mat and adhered it to the card front.
I stamped the image on a piece of Basic White and die cut it. Then I colored it with these Stampin' Blends:
- Light Shaded Spruce
- Light Bermuda Bay
- Dark Pool Party
- Light Magenta Madness
- Dark Rococo Rose
I chose these colors for the Make the Cards Challenge #13.
Make the Cards is partnering with Double Trouble's Challenge #82 - Flowers so I'm playing along with Thing 1, Thing 3 and Thing 2.
The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings (retiring 5/3/21) and is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. Measurements are listed below in inches.
I'm entering again at SUOC 273: Use Designer Series Paper and at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper April 2021.
Thank you for stopping by today.

Love how you have the monochrome look using the dsp and then a pretty pop of colour with the flower on top and of course the cute little bee trinket on it just finishes your card off perfectly.
