For my card I used a real imaginative shape...a rectangle! Haha! I had a Fall colored card in mind and the the die cut I wanted to use for my background was a rectangle, so that's how my card evolved! Take a look...
I used SU!'s Basic Gray cardstock for my base, and then used the same cardstock for the die cut rectangle (PTI's Border Bling: JOY Frame), that I blended Basic Gray ink all around the decorative edges so it would stand out a bit from the card base. Next I had fun stamping and fussy cutting all the flowers and leaves from PTI's Effortless Beauties stamp set, using lots of different Fall colored inks, and then arranging them over the frame.
I finished this card with a little Wren from The Greetery's Robin & Wren stamp set and popped him up over my sentiment that is also from The Greetery (Opposites Attract). A few gemstones (Pinkfresh Studio) and some Distress Glitter added a little sparkle and shine to really finish this card off!
Lots of BEAUTIFUL inspiration from the DT and also in the gallery too, so check it all out right HERE and then play along! And Happy, happy birthday to all of you at The Flower Challenge!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
