Greetings and welcome to CC847. Thank you, Jeanne for choosing Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, and Old Olive for this weekâs colors. Add gems for dessert if desired.
This is my first card made in this style. Iâd seen similar ones like this online and decided to give it a try. The first thing I did was stamp the floral image from a large My Favorite Things background stamp. I then cut a rectangle out of the center and colored it with alcohol markers. I used one of the neutrals to color behind the flowers.
Next, I adhered the rectangle onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock. The uncolored piece was added next. A Rubbernecker Stamps sentiment and a few scattered gems for dessert complete the card.
Thank you so much for stopping by.

I love that sentiment, and the way you colored just the center of the picture. Made it all make sense and it is beautiful!!
