Good Saturday morning. My project today was made for the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge and Spoonflower was our inspiration site. I was inspired by the Shabby Rose Fabric pictured below. I loved the yellow gingham and yellow roses with the soft blue background.
Here’s what I came up with.
I found one little strip of yellow gingham designer paper in my stash and paired it with blue polka dots. I created two size roses for my floral spray and created soft blue polka dot foliage.
I formed the foliage with my stylus and mat and then attached to the card base with glossy accents. I rolled several roses using my needle nose pliers and attached them around the foliage to create the spray. I softened the three larges roses by adding sprigs of the branch punch. I love the shabby country feel of this.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful Saturday.

I love yellow and think it goes with any color. When I attempt using purples (my difficult color), yellow is the one color I can pair with purple and make purple work. Your card is beautiful.

That soft yellow is beautiful with that blue. The flowers are gorgeous. You made me realize leaves don't always have to be green. I alwaus learn from you.
