I made this card for the letter X Alphabet Challenge. The x's in this card are all the cross stitches in the background behind the flowers. The flowers were all stamped and die cut out. The sentiment banner was die cut, then the sentiment heat embossed in white.
I found the inspiration for this card on Pinterest where someone used 2 tones of the same color which is something I would never have thought to do on my own. I was so pleased with the end result of this of this two-tone look that I hope to do this in more colors.
Thank you Ann for the great challenge and thanks for looking today. ~Karen.
