Square card & non white base at Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Glenda wants us to use a square card with a coloured base.

Or play along with our anything goes birthday option.

Our party guests and my team mates have lots of inspiration over at the blog, so I hope you can play along.

I don't often make square cards, although I do often use black bases.
I've seen lots of ideas on pinterest for florals on a black base and love how the flowers pop, so that's where I went with this card.

I coloured some card with oxide inks for the flowers and used a green card from my stash for the greenery. The embossing folder is new to me, I like how it matched the blooms!

I tossed up between a black on white sentiment, but gold on black won.

I'm linking up to these challenges:


Tic Tac Toe, I went with the middle row, any colour, free & sentiment.

Try it on Tuesday, Summer Blooms


Supplies:
Altenew piped floral lace 3D ef; Spellbinders be bold blooms dies; Poppystams banner sentiments stamp & die; scraps of gold card; oxide inks.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

The bright die cut flowers and leaves look beautiful over the black EF background Cathy and a lovely gold on black sentiment strip to finish...a gorgeous card. x

What a great idea to add these bright flowers onto the Dark Card base as it does really make them pop. Wow all of the texture is gorgeous.
