Hi everyone, I've had this card made for a few days and have already missed some challenges I hoped to enter, time seems to just fly by these days!
I used a new to me die called bouquet on some yupo paper coloured with alcohol inks, regular and pearl.
Here's a closer look at the shimmer.
The sentiment is a stamp from a set called doodled flowers by Happy Little Stampers, sadly retired now. There's no date on the set but I've had it for quite a few years.
I'm linking up to the yellow and green colour challenge at the Retro Rubber
My card is in the clean and simple category. I was inspired bythe gorgeous sunflowers in the vase and on the cushions, pops of yellow and green.

Oh my, that shine. Beautiful bouquet and gorgeous colors. I must look into alcohol pearl inks now.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Cathy and I love the AIs with a finished pearly sheen in those beautiful colours, and using this die featuring a very pretty floral framed within the circle aperture, which is a wonderful look, and finished with the stitched rectangle and lovely sentiment...so elegant! x
