Peach and Teal. Those are the colors for the Color Hues challenge and I tried a number of things but couldn't get them to work until I decided to go with my usual florals.
Even this card took a few turns until I was happy with it. It features Altenew's Japanese Anemone stamp and stencil. The stenciling went fine using my oft neglected CP ink in Apricot and Bellini for the flowers and Altenew Dew Drops and Aqualicious for the leaves. I planned a one layer card but the sentiment didn't stamp well so I used the dies to cut them out. I love the way they cut in between the blossoms. Now what about some texture or dimension or just plain interest? I tried MFT's Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot background stamp in Dew Drop and loved it. A number of sentiments were auditioned and the BetterPress one fit best.

Those Anemones were a great place to start, Bobby - love the teal leaves, and the dotted finish!

Beautiful! This may have taken a few turns, but it sure ended up in a perfect spot (haha). The colors are genuinely perfect on this floral piece
I love this color combination, and I love this card. That background showcases the pretty flowers perfectly. So lovely!!!!
