I was delighted when I saw that the dynamic duos challenge matched the colours I was wanting to use for the card…..
The gold did not feature in my idea, but this was optional anyway - so I have opted not to use it!
Here is my card….
Apologies that my photos are not great this week - I have been a bit short on time and so I had to just take quick snaps.
For the card, I started with a cream card stock base and layered on strips of black card stock. I stamped, then clear embossed the gorgeous flowers from Uniko Studio's Flower Power 2 set. These were then coloured with spectrum noir markers and fussy cut out. A bit of bling just had to be added by way of a stick on crystal.
I spent ages trying to decide how to arrange the flowers. Nothing seemed to work. I then decided to use thin scraps of card I had in front of me, to create a tree branches. This was right!!!
The sentiments are also from Uniko Studio - the Birthday from the 'A Gift for You' set and wishes comes from Pure Florals:Chrysanthemums.
Hope you like it. As always, any comments so very much appreciated.
