I had a new die set and new fun fold I wanted to try for the Color Hues challenge hosted by my friend Marcia. And since it's all new I'm sending my card to Darnell's NBUS.
The die set is the
Craft a Flower African Daisy from Altenew and I must admit I ordered the wrong one. I meant to get the
Lush Botanicals African Daisy which comes with an embossing folder and has a totally different look. The flowers were cut in light yellow and shaded with Orange Cream Altenew ink in the center and on the ends. The leaves are Altenew Green Gold, which I hope is a neutral since it looks brown.
For the card I wanted to try a card I saw
Jennifer McGuire make using Pinkfresh Studio
Blanket Stitch Bracket. Here you can see how it pops up.
And it will stand on its own.
The background looked a little bare so I smooshed some Scattered Straw Distress Ink. The sentiment is from Spellbinders Just Add Cake.

WOW...what a beautiful card Bobby! I love the fun fold and shape of this card, and even though you ordered the wrong die set, this one is awesome and I love how it turned out!! Beautifully done and thanks so much for sharing with us at Color Hues and making my color pairing with orange & yellow SHINE! Hugs. :0)
Could there ever be a daisy that is 'wrong?' Bobby, you've added a beauty to your daisy collection - go ahead and get the other one, too!
This is amazing! She loves it!

Your African Daisies are so pretty in this color combo and what a fun-fold, shaped card you have created Bobby. Just beautiful.
It may have not been the intended Daisy, but this beauty sure does the trick on your fun background! I also love the pop-up card base (must try, since I have that die...).
Oh wow, I love the shaped card, Bobby! Wrong or right daisy set, this one's a keeper!
I'm another fan of that wonderful card design. And your African daisies are so beautiful! I've been known to place an order that wasn't quite right--you're not alone. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at Color Hues!
You made the most of this pretty die you ordered by mistake, Bobby! I love the shape and the background of schplatters and stitches works so well with the deep fall colors! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Well isn't this just the most beautiful thing? I am such a fan of shaped cards, and this one is no exception. Your flowers are stunning, I LOVE this so much!!!
