Color Challenge with dessert of flowers and Free 4 All Challenge calling for flowers.
I did substitute Magenta Madness for the Melon Mambo as my ink pad is so old and needs to be replaced. These colors look so springy and happy, especially with the gingham background.
For a previous card, I embossed with Dainty Diamonds and then die-cut a rectangle. Since the stitching is on both sides of the cutting blade, I had this stitched frame left over, which worked well for these colorful flowers & leaves.
Thank you to the hostesses for the fun challenges. Thank you for looking & commenting! I so appreciate it.

Beautiful spring florals with the blue gingham bg, Diane! I like that combination of die-cut and stamped impression for the flowers, and also the textured frame!

Love embossed frame and pretty blue check BG! Perfect for the beautiful stamped flowers and leaves. Die cuts over flowers and buttons make for excellent details.

Oh, how pretty, Diane! I love the die cuts over the inked flowers; what an interesting way to create the floral scene. I like the embossed, pierced frame, too. A lovely way to use this week's colors!

So bright, so pretty and just in time for spring, Diane. You've used these colors so well. I like the open leaves allowing the other colors to take over more so. Lovely card and beautiful corner blooms~

What a joyful card! The gingham panel adds a soft country feel to the cheery cascade of flowers. And that left over, repurposed white frame with the pretty stitch lines finishes it to perfection. This goes into my Favs!
