Just Because
The challenges at MFT & Dynamic Duos inspired my card & I used MFT stamps, dies & felt. I stamped the card front with Distressed Diamonds & didn't press down evenly to get a more distressed look. The white panel is white embossed with another image from Distressed Diamonds. The Lemon Drop felt flower is cut with the Layered Rose die & the center & leaves are black cardstock cut with Prima Donna Petals. The black flag is cut with Fishtail Flags. Glad to have another card ready to surprise a blogging friend. Thanks so much for visiting my blog.

ReplyDeletelove the background you created, greta... a striking and dramatic card!
ReplyDeleteHello Greta,
ReplyDeleteMy goodness this palette hits you full on... SMACK!!!
You have chosen two power hues that contradict each other; Yellow relates a luminous energy, whereas Black has a dark heavy and bold feel. It shouts 'here I am' it only works because you had the insight to tone down the effect with the White embossing panel, how very clever of you, this is a fabulous card that would cheer up any ones day.
Smiles:)
