Diane is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has given us some inspiration for spring--so much so that "spring" is our dessert option! The colors are Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia and Soft Sea Foam.
I am a little late to the Petite Pots party--about nine years, as it turns out! After I grabbed this adorable set from the Papertrey site a week or so ago (and I'm glad I did!), I discovered that it was the anniversary set for that company in 2015! I'm so glad they re-released it, because I had great fun making this card. As you can probably see, each little element is a separate stamp, so the stems, flowers and pots can be made in a variety of color combinations!
For my card, I used the three challenge colors, plus a generous group of allowed neutrals. That way I could give the pots and flowers some interest and a little depth. I did a little selective inking on one set of stems, and colored in the other two with a dark green colored pencil.
I wasn't sure what layout I was going to use as I stamped, stamped, stamped my flowers and pots. When it was time to mount it, the panel seemed too big for a standard A2 card, so this became a 5-1/2" square card. The center panel is 4" square, as are the two DS panels behind it.
A few Cloud 9 drops finished off my birthday card for a friend who is a gardener! Spring is right around the corner. Please join in the challenge this week and help welcome it in with some pretty spring images!

Super cute! Love the variety of flowers and pots for them. The tilted papers in the background is terrific for this sweet birthday card. Wonderful use of the challenge colors!

This is so pretty Barbara and I like how you used the challenge colors and some darker shades of those colors. It's a wonderful birthday card that someone will certainly enjoy.
