Today's Lesson From The Craft Room: Ride The Wave Of Inspiration!
I went to bed after checking what colors were in today's color challenge. I woke up knowing that I needed to use Wow Flowers. I almost ran into the craft room to get started on this card! Half-way through I though "Wow! This is sure ugly!" But I kept going and I am so glad I did! I am really pleased with the result. How 'bout you? Sometimes you just need to ride the wave of inspiration and see where it leads!
I began by stamping the "birthday wishes" greeting in basic gray on the basic gray card stock. Then I went crazy stamping the geometric flower in crushed curry on very vanilla and then continued with the same stamp in bravo burgundy. That panel and the center crushed curry circle are popped up on dimensionals. I love that this card only uses one stamp set! I hope you like it!

I really like how your card turned out too. At first sight these colors didn't look so promising. I wouldn't have picked them on my own, but they do look nice together. I like your cheery set with this.

This did turn out very cute. It's a good story as I've learned to complete my cards, just following my fingers as I like to say. This will brighten someone's day.
