Filigree Thank You - AW25

My card won the top 3 reader's choice and design team choice for the last Around the World Stampin' Up! Challenge! Thanks so much!

 

 

I've been feeling a bit tired this week, I think a combination of work and the seasons changing has made me feel a bit blah. Unfortunately, my stamping mojo seems to have taken a bit of a hit too. I'm not sure if it's just because this week's challenge at Around the World Stampin' Up! Challenges was so open (create a Thank You card), or what, but it literally took me an hour to come up with this super simple card. I played with all kinds of papers and stamps before settling on this. I do like this new embossing folder that came out in the new holiday catalog, and it makes a great border for all kinds of cards, so I'm sure I'll be using it lots more!

Thank You with a Bloom - PPA211

I love these little spots stamp in the Hello Darling set (I actually bought this set solely for this stamp, lol). I used the color challenge at Pals Paper Arts for the inspiration for this card. I love how the yellow and white pop against the navy.

 

The center of the flower is colored with the darkest Daffodil Delight Blendabilities marker, and the petals with the lighter two.
