one more for ctd...

Couldn't resist making another card for Color Throwdown so I combined it with the current Freshly Made Sketches layout and the Simon Says Stamp Exotic Blooms die set.  Let's have a look at what I made.


 Pretty simple.  Die cut the flowers from black and light gray cardstock and the flower centers from vellum.  I then layered them as you see.  Die cut the circle using a Pinkfresh Studio circle die and layered them one.  I found some black and white patterned paper in a paper pack from Altenew that I trimmed down for one of the elements on the sketch.  I used vellum and a strip of the light gray for the other element in the sketch.  I layered everything on a white cardstock panel making sure to allow the patterned paper to peek through the vellum  I then layered on the circle with thin foam squares.  The one larger bloom was tucked in at the bottom and then I added the stamped and die cut sentiment.



That's it for me.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
