What a perfect way to marry that black and white together! A strip of gorgeously colored flowers. I love this design and might have to use it!

Gorgeous color combo, Lin, so perfect for those Painted Flowers! I love the dual white/black panels too - very striking!

Lin, this is a lovely card. I have a question ....did you lay down white and black card on top of the card base, then fussy cut the flowers and put them on top to hide the seam. Please advise. Thank you in advance.

Lin said...

Connie, here's what I did: started with a white top-folded card base, added my black panel, then stamped and fussy-cut the flowers and added them along the seam.

Unknown said...

Oh..thank you for letting me know the white was part of the card base. I get it now. It's just beautiful Lin.

Beautiful card. Your fussy cutting of the flowers is so perfect. With the change of sentiment, this card would be great for various occasions.

You sure nailed the color challenge for this one, Lin! It's beautiful, and I really love the layout with the sentiment embossed so boldly on the black! Stunning! (And, yes, we both love teddies!!!)

Lori said...

Gorgeous! Love the lineup of flowers and the pop of the embossed sentiment on the black background. Thanks for joining us at the Color Throwdown!
