Hello, hello! I'm popping in with a card for Freshly Made Sketches and Color Hues. Let's have a look at what I made.
Do you ever come up with your idea for a card and then can't find one of the items you need to complete said idea? Happens to me all the time, lol! Such was the case with this card. I couldn't find my set of MFT fishtail flag banner dies. In the process of looking for them and for another product I came across the Simon Says Stamp Happy Hello suite of products. The Happy Hello die set had the other die I needed for another project, but as I was looking at everything I realized that the funky flowers in the Happy Hello stamp set would be perfect to use for my card! I stamped the stems in MFT Tropical Teal and the flowers in PFS Clementine and then die cut them with the matching die. I used a smaller fishtail flag banner die for the banner element and layered on the flowers. I wrapped some bright orange twine around the top and tied a bow. The sentiment is also from Happy Hello. I stamped it in the Tropical Teal and then die cut it with a label die. I had this light gray cardstock panel that I had used to figure out how many shims I needed to emboss a die into cardstock. Because it is a technique I don't do that often I forget what my embossing "sandwich" needs to be. I used a Birch Press Design layering die for the embossing. The embossing is subtle, but I think adds a nice touch. Anyway, adhered the panel to a white cardstock base, added the banner with thin foam squares and then the sentiment. Simple, but I love those boldly colored funky flowers!
That's it for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

A missing product is always a real thing, but you overcame with great success -- this is a fun, whimsical card, Rosemary
Love the teal and Clementine together! Sweet card! Glad you shared it at FMS!
Those flowers are such fun and look great in those inks! Love the subtle embossing which I first thought was textured paper.
These sunny flowers make for such a happy card! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
A wonderful card, I love all the elements and how you used the wonderful colours. A fabulous card Rosemary. x
I really love when crafters successfully nail two challenges with one card. I love the banner, the stone cardstock and the twine additions. Thanks so much for playing with us at Color Hues!
