Hello friends!! Popping in with a card I made for several challenges: Viva La Verve Week 4, ColourQ and Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes. Don't you like it when you can make one card and have it fit several challenges? I know I do, lol!! I love the clean and simple style of the Verve sketch... this is one I may have to use again in the future. Originally I was going to title this post "birthday bluebells" but then I realized my "bluebells" weren't blue, but pink and pale plum!All the stamps and dies are from Verve. I used the Verve sets Framed Florals and Joyful Blooms and the Verve dies Flag It, Bluebells and Pennant Trim. After die cutting and stamping everything I decided to add in some patterned paper with a neutral background and found this sweet little black and white polka dot paper in the Teresa Collins Hello My Name Is 6x6 pad. I think it provides a nice break to all the whiteness of the cardstock. I did a little distressing to the edges of the patterned paper, as well as the main panel. I popped up the pennant trim as well as one of the bluebells for some additional dimension.
Thanks for stopping by...

Pretty! I think you are right that the polka dotted paper breaks up the white space nicely! And it really draws the eye in to your beautifully colored flowers. Thanks for joining us at colourQ!

ReplyDeleteHello Rosie,
ReplyDeleteYes I think the spotted Bg gives an added interest to this card; it finishes it off beautifully.
