Our Teapot Challenge this week is to send cheer to Delores, a wonderful self-taught artist. Anita challenged us to make a black and white card with a pop of color. I chose to add the beautiful colors that Jeanne challenged us to use for the Color Challenge. My card was inspired by a card seen on 3-21-21 on the blog, CardsandCoffeeTime.com. My front panel is dry embossed. I die cut a black cardstock decorative circle and adhered a die cut word sentiment out of white cardstock. I used die cut flowers and leaves to add the pop of color. My card is slightly undersized so that the blossom can overhang on one side and still fit in an envelope. Thank you Anita and Jeanne for the wonderful challenges!

Love your idea to make the card slightly smaller for the overhanging flower. That e.f. seems like just the perfect base for your circle die and flowers. The challenge colors look great!

Beautiful card and the burst of spring color is fabulous. Love how the flowers pop off your black circle die. And I am in love with your ef. Wonderful card and great job combining the challenges.
