Hello! Well, it has been a while, again, since I last posted. This seems to be my pattern: Post several cards then disappear for a week or so. Don't think the pattern will change anytime soon, either. It isn't that I'm not making things because I am. I just can't share what I have made yet. But I'm here today with a "I just want to make something" card. I will be sending this one off to Color Hues (yellow and black), Freshly Made Sketches and Just Us Girls (moodboard). So, let's see what I made.
I had been going through some cards that I had made a long time ago and came across a card that I had made using this pretty Memory Box die set called Cottage Flower Stem. I decided that I need to find that die set and make another card with it. And here it is, lol! I die cut just the flower from yellow cardstock and the flower with stem from white cardstock. I did add a little bit of distress oxide ink in yellow to the flower center and to the bottom layer to provide a little contrast. For the FMS portion of the card I die cut a piece of patterned paper from the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Indigo Garden using a small rectangle die. I created the flower and then adhered that to the white flower stem. The rectangles were layered on a white cardstock panel and then I added the flower. I thought about having the leaves be black, but decided against that as I felt I had enough black already. I did add some pale yellow sequins, tho. Finished with the sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Thanks, Mom stamp set. I thought about creating a card for JUGs using lots of flowers, but decided that this single yellow flower worked for the challenge. Let me know what you think.
Well, that's it for me. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

This striking card is a standout in the challenge galleries, Rosemary! In other words, it's a winner in my book! I love, love the b/w stripes behind the pretty yellow flower. Hugs, Darnell
I love black and white stripes and especially with yellow! That cottage flower is a pretty one too. A great card all because you wanted to use that die! Thank you so much for playing at Just Us Girls!

I am going to have to file this fun layout away for future use. Love this CAS card, Rosemary! Thanks for linking up at Color Hues.
Great take on the sketch - love the striped blocks, Rosemary. Perfect with the flower atop! I'll have to remember this one for using my patterned strips!
