For the Color Challenge hosted by Chris. Her fabulous color selection is: Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis, and Parakeet Party. The dessert option is something warm, which could be a color.
Thank you, Chris for reminding me (us) that these In Colors will be retiring soon.
I found a pack of cards & envelopes in my stash that were perfect for these colors. My dessert is a warm color, Fresh Freesia. This color is on the coordinating envelopes and my color wheel shows it on the warm side as Red-Violet with white, so it worked out.
I die-cut the flowers from colored cardstock and the leaves from Parakeet Party polka-dot DSP. The white panel was die-cut with stitching & scallops. One card base is Starry Sky and the other is Orchid Oasis. For each of the cards, I matched the glimmer flower centers & the ink for the sentiment to the card base. Then, I swapped colors for the smaller flower and the dots.
For March, I need a lot of birthday cards, so I plan to use this design with all the rest of the cards in the pack. We hope you will join in and show us what you make! TFL

Very nice design for both cards, Diane. I always like the look of flower clusters with foliage in a corner. The polka dotted leaves brings in a bit of whimsy and I just love the starry dp on the left~

I had forgotten about this ensemble when I chose the colors and I'm so glad you brought it out to create these beauties. I love the addition of the scallops and the dotted leaves with your pretty flowers!
