I really do enjoy a good challenge. Give me a color palette, sketch or idea and I am good to go! This project is for the weekly Color Throwdown. You can see the color palette a bit later in the post along with the other challenges I am playing along with today. I had so much fun creating this card that I just have to jump right in!
I started with a 4.25 inch by 11 inch base (Stampin' Up Crumb Cake) scored and folded at 5.5 inches. I trimmed up a bit of soft cream colored CS to make a slightly smaller mat. I pulled out Our Daily Bread Designs' Majestic Medallion Die for the base and lattice layer (also created with SU Crumb Cake). I die cut some foliage using ODBD's Fancy Foliage Die out of a soft sage card stock, cut and adhered to create my "spray." I used ODBD's Pretty Posies Die, cream card stock, water mister and shaping tool to create my posies before adding a few pearls in each center and adding to my spray. I stamped my sentiment on cream CS (Sending My Love Stamp/Die Duo) with coordinating Crumb Cake Ink. I wrapped the sentiment panel lightly around a pencil until I got the desired shape and adhered it near the bottom of my flowers. I added sentiment panel (also in soft cream card stock) to finish it off.
So here is the color palette and LINK...

Beautiful card! Love the layering and flowers...stunning!
absolutely gorgeous design, lori!!
Die cutting perfection! I love how you have used the challenge colours and the way you have 'twined' the flourishes to use behind your roses.
What a beautiful design! Great combination of die cut elements. Thanks for joining us at The Color Throwdown!
Such a great project, I love all the details, some clever use of diecuts!! Thank you for joining the Southern Girls this time. Good luck, Julie X
