I am your hostess this week and I have chosen: watermelon wonder, crushed curry, pumpkin pie and a dessert of your favorite green. This is my second card for today (I actually cheated on my own challenge and used 2 of my favorite greens!).
For this card, I first embossed the rectangle frame on my card front by embossing with a nestability die (you just have to use a different “sandwich” so it embosses rather than cuts). Then I stamped my tulips (a triple stamp flower, so I was able to use all 3 colors), and sentiment, put the die back in place (used washi tape to hold it there), and then sponged my greens. Then I removed the die and added the smaller stamp in several places. Added sequins and ta-da – a one layer card!

Well, Maura, when I first saw the colors, I gulped - hehe! But then I saw that dessert was our favorite green! So I was happier! Yes, I love flowers!! But I love how some of the gals have used the colors without green so beautifully! But I LOVE your card with these gorgeous tulips, and what a beautiful "framing" idea! Stunning, sweet friend, and I LOVE it!! Big hugs!
