Ok ...I have to say , these colours from this challenge are GREAT!!!! We all seem to think the brighter the better but sometimes subtle really works. I hope you like my card I have for you today.
This is the colour palette.
And here my card......
I took the Whisper White card base and ran it through "Mr. Big" with the Brick Wall Embossing Folder. Then the building began as I took out the Botanical Builder Framelits and started with the Sahara Sand colour then the Basic Black. I just kept running the wonderful dies through, not really picking specific ones, then I began dry fitting a design.
I kept it simple , no extra embelllishments , just the flower shapes and the leaves. If you don't have this set.....HELLO. It is fabulous. It really does all the work for you and is so much fun.
I know .... the centres cry out for a jewel or a button but I wanted to stay flat for easy mailing.
And I had a couple of pieces left over, so I added some interest inside.
I stamped the sentiment with the Archival Black ink, rounded the corners and set in the design. It came from the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set,
So off you go, have fun and I will post the links for you at the end of the page.
And all the wonderful ladies blogs for your viewing pleasure.....

Very pretty, Shelagh - love how you used the Brick embossing for the background. Really adds a little "oomph"! :)
