Crafty Card Makers - Monochromatic

Welcome to Crafty Cardmakers Challenge.  The theme for this week is "Monochromatic".  I know a lot of us automatically think of black and white or various shades of brown when we think monochromatic.  I thought of going against my natural inclinations with pink.  This is my card and I like how it turned out.  I admit I struggled with it a bit..........


At first I laid out the flowers on the the pink background with no embossing. No matter how I laid them out, it just didn't look right. Then I found this Sizzix embossing folder I had never used.  It seems to lead your eyes to the flowers.  I then added a bow and gems to complete the card along with a Happy Birthday greeting. The flowers were made using Anna Griffin 3D Flower Dies.

Thank you for joining me today.  I hope you have a marvelous Labor Day.  Be sure to have time with your family.

God Bless You!!!! Peggy
