The Flower Challenge #42

The Flower Challenge has another good one for you.
You see it says "Add Leaves".  This means add leaves to your flower image because a flower has to be the main focus of your card.  To see what we mean, please check out the cards the Design Team has posted for your inspiration.  Here's mine.
I used my NBUS dies from Sizzix to add leaves to my Altenew Grateful Heart flower.  I cut them from Neenah Solar White and colored them with Distress Ink so they would look more in line with the stamp layered blossom.  That's also why I didn't stamp the outline in black.  I have a thing about the mediums matching.  I know - crazy.  The heat embossed sentiment strip is more the color of the leaves IRL.  I used Press'n Seal to hold my arrangement together but I think it slipped some and I'm not happy with it but once it's glued down there's nothing you can do.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope to see you at The Flower Challenge.

Beautiful floral arrangment with your added leaves, Bobby! Love the bright yellow of the flower that works so well with the green and brown leaves. I agree about keeping the colours insync with your brown embossed banner. Beautiful card! xx
