This week's Inspiration Challenge is a fabric site full of colors & patterns. I was inspired by THIS fabric for the bright colors. From the thumbnail, it looked floral to me so that's the direction I went.
Instead of embossing resist, I did the reverse on my background. I sponged on the Distress inks, dried it w/ a heat gun then used my embossing buddy over to make sure it was really dry. (It probably would have been easier to emboss, then sponge, but sometimes it's hard to get all of ink off of the embossing & I wanted it to be really crisp & white.) Then the azaleas were white embossed on top. The white front was die cut twice w/ a stitched curve die to make the split thru the center. After adding the greeting, I die cut some tiny flowers out of leftover background pieces & attached them.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & product links are on my blog: The Write Stuff

what a wonderful design with the curve edged pieces and your wonderful bright pink and orange panel with the lovely white embossed blooms between them!

Pretty bright colors, Julie. So interesting to add the curves and cute die-cut flowers. I've done the same as you with adding the white ep after sponging~
