IDEAS - Dies

Hi everyone.  It's time for the next IDEAS Challenge with Darnell.  This week is "D for Dies / Die Cuts".
I used a new-to-me flower die that was a gift from a friend a LONG time ago.  I'm happy that I have finally had a chance to show it some love.   I created a simple background by smooshing Kitsch Flamingo, Ripe Persimmon, and Mustard Seed Distress Inks.  I dried my panel and then added more sponging of the same colours over top to intensify the colours.  For some reason the pink is lost in the photo.

I used this lovely daisy flowers die and kept the card CAS by using white for the flowers and adding a simple sentiment (Happy Messages - Stampendous) at the bottom in black ink.

A fun and easy card that took me less than 10 minutes to make.  Not very often that happens for me! :)

Not only am I joining Darnell with the IDEAS Challenge this week, but I'm also adding this card to NBUS Challenge #61.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Such a bright and beautiful background Loll to accompany the very pretty white flowers, and perfectly finished with the black stamped sentiment. x

    You make the most beautiful blended backgrounds, and the white die cut flowers are really popping on it! The two show each other off to perfection. Now that you mention the pink I can see a hint. Darn photos. Your 10 minute card is a marvel!
