Happy Friday, everyone! I had some stamping time yesterday but try as I might, I just couldn't make things work quite the way I wanted! Ever have days like that? I really wanted to use the challenging colors at CAS Colours & Sketches as well as squeak something in for the Retro Rubber sketch:
I don't have any "bubbly"-looking stamps, so I opted for some diecut flowers---an old set from My Favorite Things. I diecut a bunch of them from Balmy Blue cardstock, added some Night of Navy centers and put them all on a floral-embossed panel and a Gray Granite card. And I confess that Gray Granite is not one of my go-to colors, so it was definitely a challenge for me to use it! So here we go:
Even though it didn't take much time to make, I am not sure I would consider it "Clean and Simple", so I may not qualify for that challenge, LOL! The sentiments are from Perennial Birthday (2018), stamped in Night of Navy:
I did add a couple of sequins for some extra "bubbly-ness"! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

This is so pretty, LeAnne! Love the variety of flowers and that beautiful embossed background! We all have days that go that way but I think your card turned out perfectly! Great job on the challenges!
ReplyDeleteDo I EVER - in fact we've had a whole week of nothing working or things breaking!
ReplyDeleteBut I personally think you pulled those colors together beautifully! I think I might have that old MFT set, too!

I think your card turned out really cute! It's a happy card! I'm with you on Gray Granite...I like Smoky Slate much better. I guess I tend toward the cool colors! Have a lovely weekend! Huggs from sunny & HOT Florida!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, LeAnne - those are fabulous flower dies! It's like a floral explosion with your embossing, too! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!
ReplyDeleteYep, been there!! Your card is cute and I'm loving the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI love how you've used our colours, LeAnne, the blue blooms are so detailed! I think your Gray Granite frame works beautifully too. Thanks for joining in the fun at CC&S this week
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! I love that you’ve embossed the background and that fall of blooms is just gorgeous. I vote for ‘still CAS’! 😀
