Color Hues #104 and NBUS #71

I thought I'd try out a new die set from Altenew called Fresh Flowers for the challenge at Color Hues where my friend Bonnie (their newest team member) has chosen Coral and Yellow.  


I picked out PTI Melon Berry and an unidentified yellow cardstock and added dimension to the flower centers with a darker shade of ink.  The leaves are cut from PTI Soft Stone and the background embossing is an Altenew folder called Always Sunshine. I really like this set and can see making the flowers in a variety of colors. 

Since this is the first showing of this set I'm also sending my card to Darnell's NBUS challenge. 

Thanks for dropping by.

I’ve used Soft Stone cardstock for years. It’s currently unavailable and they don’t know if it will ever be avai again.
