Mimosa Musings

 Hi and welcome!  I had a bit of spare time yesterday so decided to play with a couple of challenges.  The sketch at Just Add Ink and the colours from Color Hues combined to make this card.  


I stamped the Mimosa Musings images onto white cardstock and die-cut them.  I also stamped the main sentiment onto a white panel before running it through the Brickwork 3D embossing folder.  I chose 3 green cardstock colours and cut strips which I adhered onto the embossed panel and trimmed the sides.



I added the flowers and adhered the whole lot to a white card base.  On the inside, I stamped the remainder of the sentiment (which says "about you today") and added some more of the flowers (forgot to take a photo of the inside!)

Thanks so much for visiting.

    What a gorgeous card Karren. Love the textured background. The yellow flowers pop against the green stripes.

    The texture of the background is wonderful, but doesn't detract from those beautiful yellow flowers. I love the three strips of green paper which pulls it altogether! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!

    What a sweet card - love the bright yellow of the mimosa against the dark green of the stripes. The textured background is so elegant
