Have I mentioned how in LOVE I am with The Greetery's new BotaniCuts: Crocus dies?? I just can't seem to stop inking up these sweet little flowers that welcome in Spring, and are just perfect for this color challenge! Take a look:
I started by die cutting the flowers in white cardstock and then inked them up using a sponge dauber and Wilted Violet, Peeled Paint, & Rustic Wilderness DOX inks. I set them aside to dry and die cut a rectangle opening from a white card layer, and then embossed it using SSS's Vine Canopy embossing folder.
Once I adhered the embossed panel over my top folding white card base, I arranged and glued down the flowers into the rectangle opening, leaving a few petals and leaves unglued so that I curl them a tiny bit for some added dimension. I did a tiny bit of white splattering (white acrylic paint) and when dry, added my strip sentiment (Gina K's pre-printed sentiment strips) and a few white gems from PFS.
There's still a week left to play along with this beautiful color combination, so check out all the inspiration from the DT, and then play along right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

A gorgeous card, Marcia! Wow, those flowers are stunning and the beautiful embossing makes this so elegant!
Marcia this is so beautiful. The crocus look so pretty and I like how you popped them through the aperture and left a few petals and leaves to flow in the wind x. Fabulous colouring and great dimension/texture from the wonderful embossing folder x.
Wanted to come by to leave a proper comment! Gorgeous job with our colors, Marcia. The white space really makes your crocus flowers pop. So appreciate you playing along at Color Hues!
