The current MFT Color Challenge is perfect for Spring, the one time of year I tend to reach for yellow. Thanks to Kay Miller's card I won't be able to use MFT Party Pattern's for Darnell's next NBUS challenge! My card began with white embossing the circles on heavy weight watercolor paper.
I used the acrylic block technique with Memento Dandelion, but I moved the block back & forth which actually roughed up the paper. Decided to see how it looked when it was dry & I really like the unplanned texture. I did also blend some of the ink so there's a bit of variation in the intensity of the yellow. Hard to see, but there are also yellow & white splatters. I used up some scraps for the MFT Prima Donna Petals flower & Royal leaves. I've been making a lot of pretty flat cards for mailing, but sometimes I just want to use my dimensional flower dies. The white embossed sentiment is from Spring--my very first MFT stamp set which I bought at the LSS, no longer in business. I mounted it to another black strip with foam adhesive & finished off with lots of PPP Marshmallow sequins. The current MFT Sketch provided my layout & I'm also entering CropStop, Double D, The Playground, SSS Wednesday, Stamping Sensations & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to visit my blog.
Oh Greta what a beautiful card! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS’ Challenge! We hope you’ll come back often.
Ohhh, the yellow is fabulous, and I always love it paired with blue! What a wonderful design. It almost looks like a journal. Really love those white embossed circles, and your sequins suggest raindrops. This is just beautiful Greta, and I'm glad to see it in our Double D April Showers Challenge! ps: I'm glad for the rain, too. I have to stay inside sometime!
Blue and yellow two of my favorite colors and beautiful together. wonderful creative design. Thanks for sharing with us at Double D Challenge Blog. We hope to see many more of your creations.
Oh Greta, Greta, Greta!!! This is flawless. The sunny yellow background and pretty blue flowers flow perfectly with the white circles. But that black sentiment block and the black spine of the card are what set it off perfectly!!
This is one of my favorite color combinations. The sun and sky, a wonderful duet! Your card is so beautiful thanks to this incredible energy that we have. hugs, BozenA
Oh, that yellow/embossed background is so eye-catching; a perfect canvas for your incredibly pretty pop-of--blue flower. Lucky friend receiving this beauty... Hugs~c
