Nature's Duo!!


Red and green together just make me happy... Mother Nature got that colour combo spot on with roses, tulips, field poppies and strawberries to name but a few :0) It also fits in perfectly with this weeks colour challenge at Less is More because red and green sit opposite each other on the colour wheel too :0)

                                                     
I wanted to try some partial die-cutting with Lawn Fawns Blissful Botanicals stamps and dies and this is the end result...


The dies make it so easy to cut after you have stamped because they line up easily and the thin white border is really growing on me now... I'd never cut it that neatly myself!! 
For a bit of interest and texture, I embossed part of the base card with a folder from a Cuttlebug set called Fabric Swatches... I love all the stitching and faux fabric effects on the four folders :0)

I couldn't decide whether to add extra bling near the sentiment, I love the black beads in the flower centre but looking at it now I think a few more scattered would have been okay!!?? It's too late now because it's already gone on its merry travels!!....... Happy Birthday Jackie :0)

Thanks for stopping by

Stamps used: Blissful Botanicals, Judy's blooms, Sophie's sentiments by Lawn fawn

  7. So pretty! I've been using a lot of red & green in my Mother's Day cards - pretty sure this is my first foray outside of Christmas cards! The shades you've chosen are perfect as is that gorgeous & simple white space. And fab idea to tuck the beads in the centre!
