This card is my entry for today's Color Challenge (CC225) to use kraft, so saffron, and night of navy. We celebrate our wedding anniversary on Friday and I needed a card for my husband. I thought these colors would be perfect for an anniversary card for him!!
I have so saffron, but not night of navy or kraft. In order to play along, I improvised on the kraft by using a paper grocery bag and used Rubber Stampede navy blue ink and some DCWV textured navy cardstock instead of night of navy.
I was finally able to try out the crinkled cardstock flowers featured in the Ways to Use it Challenge (WT222) several weeks ago. Better late than never!
Thanks for looking!

Way to improvise Emily! I really like the crinkly look the flower has - really adds some nice texture to the card, and the little brad that secures it in place is just precious. I like your use of eyelets all around for decorative effect too.
Happy Anniversary Buddy! I hope you and your hubby do something special to celebrate!

This is really one fabulously fun and sweet card. I love how you didnt add a panel behind the ones you've used. Its wonderfully unique and oh so sweet!
