LIST: Colours (white, black, orange, pink, green), Techniques (stamping), Elements (3 strips of coloured flowers, black horizontal strip, 3 embellishments, thinking of you sentiment top left, square card)
INCLUDE: colours, horizontal stripes of 'flowers', black horizontal strip
MODIFY: combined stamped sentiment with black strip, die cut instead of stamped, and 2 stripes of each colour
EXCLUDE:
SPIN: die cut inlay, combined embellishments
These 3 stripes of flowers made me think immediately of this geometric coverplate from Catherine Pooler.
I blended a panel with stripes of ink, (2 of each colour), using a lighter tone at the top, and a deeper tone at the bottom for a gradient look. I splattered it with water and gold watercolour and then I cut it with the cover plate, creating all the little 'petals' to inlay into the white die cut.
I chose a very simple sentiment from Lawn Fawn and heat embossed it onto a black strip of cardstock.

So eye-catching with these fab colors and really great dies, Ardyth. WONDERFUL case/congrats card. I think my favorite part is the splatters of water and gold - fab idea. Hugz

Ardyth, your card popped right off the screen, even in thumbnail size. I love the color combination you used (one of my favorites) and the wonderful pattern. Great case of those flower strips.

Well, I would say your design is 'inspired'. I love your creative take on the inspiration card and that cover plate design immediately won my heart. You always choose such great colors and color combos and this one is super fun and happy. Another fabulous Ardyth creation.
This is really fun, Ardyth! I love the trio of vibrant colors and how you inlaid them in the quilted BG! Once again, you made the card totally your own!
