Azalea

Hi and welcome!  It's my last weekend before heading back to work, which does not make me a happy camper, but needs must.  I'm planning on getting in as much stamping as I can before Monday morning!

This card was made using the fabulous sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch and the photo inspiration at The Card Concept.  I'm also linking to the Start Afresh challenge at Simon Says Stamp as this is the first outing for this Power Poppy set and finally, I'm linking up to the Anything Goes challenge at Seize The Birthday.

I went for a clean and graphic look for my card and was inspired by the white and gold and the gorgeous pink flowers.

I stamped this gorgeous azalea stamp onto a panel of white cardstock and tried to color the flowers white with hints of pink.  Never having tried this before, it was a bit of trial and error, but it came out okay, I think.  Once I was finished coloring, I did some partial die-cutting with a stitched die then fussy cut the bottom of the image.  The sentiment was curved to fit the line of the die-cut.  

On the card base, I gold embossed the Wide Strips background stamp and then adhered the die-cut panel using foam tape.  And that's it!  No embellishments - I just left it as is.

Thanks for visiting.
