Our challenge for you at Double D Challenge Blog this time is to use white and one other color.
WHITE with ONE other color ONLY
(you can use neutrals with your one color
or you can use a neutral AS your one color)

Here is the Mood Board that Diane made for us. How cute is that one kitten that stands out from his brothers and sisters and mama.
I might have broken the rules here. When I started this card I was thing green as my color. I sponged the peony from Honey Cuts in yellow green. Using an Altenew stencil, I sponged same color onto white card stock. I topped that with some The macramé die cuts from the Greetery that my friend Barb sent me. Thanks, Barb. I love all the texture and dimension you get without adding much bulk.
Next came my Honey Cuts Peony. leaves. I should have cut them from a yellow green card stock, but was thinking they were green, but the card was done and uploaded before I thought about that. I tucked a couple of memory Box flower stems in with the leaves. then the peony and peony bud. I promise this is very easy to layer and you get a lot of bang for your buck. I got on a roll with different colors and have a nice stash to use throughout the year. I did not know that they came in yellow until Vicki posted a picture of some from her yard so I have another color to make.

You have me wanting yet, another die Kathy. This peony is gorgeous and the macrame behind it is so pretty!! I fell into the same trap using yellow-green on my card. You'll see when you visit. ;0) Oh well, it's all good inspiration, just the same!
ReplyDeleteLoving the stenciled and die cut background, such a clever and pretty design! Oh those peony dies look marvelous! Gorgeous! And I love the yellow!
ReplyDeleteEvery single detail and product used for this card is gorgeous!! I just bought a yellow peony plant, been wanting it for two years now but wouldn't pay the price but treated myself to one this year for Mother's Day and paid more then it was two years ago, that will teach me LOL. Anyhow, your card is downright beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have really inspired me to use these dies ain a different way. I love them in the background like you used them. You don't have to encourage me to any more. I am buying that peony die.
ReplyDeleteThis is exquisite, Kathy! Such a unique background with the stencil pattern and those fabulous die cuts. And, as always, a gorgeous flower of many layers.
