An embossed get well card

Hello!
I had a little play with a colour combo I have never thought of, thanks to the Colour Throwdown challenge this week :)


I embossed a piece of Pool Party card with my not very often used Houndstooth EF... I really should use this more often!


The flower is from the Flower Shop set, stamped in Night Of Navy, and punched with the Pansy Punch. The Chevron Ribbon is Calypso Coral and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments, stamped in Night Of Navy and cut out using the Word Window Punch. I finished with some silver glass glitter in the middle of the flower for a bit of sparkle.

So what do you think of the colour combo? I think it has a nice, fresh feel to it!

Supplies
Cardstock - Pool Party, Whisper White
Stamps - Flower Shop, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Punches/Dies - Word Window, Pansy Punch, Circles Collection Framelits
Other - Chevron Ribbon, Silver Glass Glitter

  14. Lizy, please don't ever not do what you're inspired to do just because someone else has used the same stamp! You are artistic and creative and your creation will be wonderful, unique and expressly YOU! And that will be beautiful!
