For today's Free For All (F4A201) and Mixabilities (MIX4 (Basic Shapes) Challenges, I used F4A170 (Repeat after Me) for my choice of Free For All Challenges and I think I've covered the basic shapes - squares in my grid bg, circles in the flower elements & triangle shapes in the corners bordering the greeting & also the shapes radiating from the flower centers.
On a 4 x 5.25 piece of white card stock, I attached a strip of drywall mesh & masked the area on either side. After sponging several colors from a Kaleidacolor ink pad, I removed the mask & edged the panel with a black marker. I stamped the solid flower with same ink & stamped the detail flower with black before die cutting with the matching die. The greeting was also stamped & die cut. The larger die cut behind the greeting was stamped, die cut and with the die still in place, I sponged on some of the same ink. The vertical & horizontal strips were parts that were trimmed off & I edged them w/ black, embossed w/ the dot border & attached them on top. Some dots of black enamel were added on the flowers & greeting.
Thanks so much for looking! It's just been posted on my blog: The Write Stuff

I too love that colour combination! What a neat background the drywall mesh helped make. Love your snowflakey flowers. They remind me of clematis climbing a trellis. Beautiful card!
