I'm not sure where I was headed with this card.....it sorta took off on its own! LOL!
I saw Michele's (Justpaintingaround) do some cards with a table and flowers, so I thought I would try something like that. So, that's where I at least started! I made my table and cut out my vase and flowers. Popped up the top of the vase and flowers.
I had these two tan CB die cut squares around and didn't know what to do with them. I thought about using them as picture frames. But, I didn't like them on the "wall" of brown cs run through the CB using the branch ef. So, I tried them behind the table and thought, "Hmmmm...maybe they could be chairs!". So, if you didn't know what they were supposed to be.....now you know! LOL!
I cut two more square CB die cuts from pink cs and used those a picture frames. I stamped the small flowers twice more, cut out. I punched two branches from glitter green dp, cut off the little branches and placed them and the flowers onto the pink "frames" for "pictures".
Don't know what I would send this card for....maybe a dinner invite or something. But, I do love this color combination!!!
What do you think?
