I love these colours together, the blue and white and pale green. I did this for a colour challenge but after I had finished and checked I saw it says 'lime green' and 'teal' so think I might have missed the mark.
The stamp I used is one of those bought it cause it looked so delicate and pretty and thought this would make a lovely background stamp, maybe different blended colours but then the stamp arrived and YES I DID IT AGAIN. Didn't read the sizing just assumed.....my ohh my you would think I would have learnt by now. Actually it was before the die the wrong size error so thats not too bad.
Well I still love it and use it just one colour at a time. I white embossed then did a very pale green wash all over avoiding the flowers as much as possible. Blue detail in the flowers and when it was finished felt it looked a bit wishy washy so went back with the green not so dilated and outlined randomly. That picked it up nicely.
I die cut the floral pattern first with this three rectangle stitched die then again on the blue card base. Put a piece of card stock on the inside on the card to hold the die cut panel straight and for somewhere for these rectangles to adhere to.
Finished it off with the white cardstock die cut 'welcome'.
Very simple card.
couldn't find a button for this blog.
Thank you so much for coming to visit and I hope you come again soon.

Your card is beautiful Aileen! Even if it didn't turn out the way you wanted! Very beautiful and a great idea to complete the sentiment on the inside!
Have a great week!
Love the blues and greens and the frames in it. It's quite striking! Xx
So pretty and delicate. Great layout with those dies and you are not alone in not reading the sizes first before buying! Great job on the pretty background x
Oh I just love those little panels that you created, just too sweet for words. Love the layout too, fabulous darling as they say! Cara x
Such a pretty card. With the inlaid die cut panels, it makes me think of windows--like you are welcoming spring--looking out the window and seeing all the pretty flowers.
