Good morning everyone!!
Happy Sunday to all!!! Geez, I hope that the beautiful weather we've been havin is a sign of warmer weather and Springtime is finally here/approaching!! YEAH!!!!
Today, at Sentimental Sundays we have a fun challenge for you to partake in this week.
We are being sponsored by Oak Pond Creations and I decided to use Hibiscus from her collection.
We are being sponsored by Oak Pond Creations and I decided to use Hibiscus from her collection.
This was a little challenging for me. I had a plan, but just wasn't coming together the way I had it imagined, UNTIL... I saw my Sam's post yesterday. Sam is one of my DT teammies on another DT I am on and she has a very sweet and clean style. Check out her card HERE
After seeing her amazing card...I had a new plan in mind and went for it!!
I love it!!! I love that it's so bold and saturated with color and pops right out of the card!!
As Sam did in her sample, I printed the didgital image on a smaller scale onto textured cardstock.
I decided not to color my background, because I wanted the focal to be the bold hibiscus.
I also used flowe soft for a little bit of added interest.
I would like to share this card in the following challenges:
