Blue and Yellow

Hi and welcome to another challenge at The Flower Challenge blog.  This month we're looking for floral cards using blue and yellow.  Of course, being floral, you are also allowed to use a smidge of green for foliage :)

For my card, I went with a new set of dies I'd just received.  When these were first released, I was a bit put-off by the price, but the more I saw them being used, the less the price seemed to bother me!  Then of course, they went out of stock for ages, so I only got my hands on them recently.

I didn't have a yellow cardstock that I really liked, so I created my own by using some Lemon Zing ink and white card.  Once that was done, I die-cut flowers and foliage and arranged them into a corner "bouquet".  I stamped the sentiment in black ink and then adhered down the flowers.

To finish the card, I used some white Nuvo Crystal Drops to make some enamel dots and also a white gel pen to add dots to the centers of the blue die-cuts.

Thanks for visiting.  Head on over and check out what the rest of the design team have come up with and don't forget the challenge stays open until 25 January, so you've plenty of time to play along!
