It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Our challenge this time is a Home Sweet Home challenge, and we have this photo to inspire you.
When I looked at this photo, I saw a bright and bold design and a riot of color. I did some background stamping with a new Verve set (Simply Amazing) and matched the colors of the inspiration piece.
I used an inlaid die cut (built up with several red layers) for the 'happy' in my sentiment and a fussy cut white embossed on red for the 'birthday' part.
I am also linking up to Addicted to CAS #85: Inlaid Dies and Simon Says Wednesday: Birthday.
Thanks for Visiting
Love how you picked up predominantly primary colors. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteFabulous stamping Joyce and love the white embossed on red sentiment, really pops x
ReplyDeleteYou could not have selected a flower set that worked more perfectly here Joyce--so pretty. Now do I need that Verve set?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card Joyce - reminds me of flower power in the 60's! But you won't remember that lol. Great idea to stack the sentiment on the red card - I'll be squirreling away that idea to CASE.
ReplyDeleteI love how you pulled out those colors of the cabinet, and the red behind the die cut is fantastic! Wonderful card, Joyce!
ReplyDeleteLove the sentiment blending into the design with that teeny red border!! Fantastic card Joyce!
ReplyDeleteOh, such beautiful flowers in lovely colours, Joyce!!! Love how you've done the sentiment!!! Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!!!
