The current challenge colors at Dynamic Duos is rich yellow & vibrant green. These are not colors I would usually pick for a Valentine, but decided to see if I could make them work. I die cut some of the Penny Black leaves & inked them with Distress Paints mowed lawn & antique linen & added Distress Stickles. MFT Lemon Drop felt was used for the MFT rolled roses & tiny yellow gems are in the centers. The negative of the Memory Box heart die cut was stamped with Penny Black's music background using Distress Ink frayed burlap. I pierced holes from the back & sponged the edges. It's mounted over kraft cardstock dry embossed with a beautiful rose folder. The kraft mat is lightly distressed. I have to say neither green or yellow are colors I would list in my favorites, but I actually love how this card turned out.
Thanks for taking time out to visit my blog.
Just gorgeous Greta. The rolled felt roses are so pretty.
