Hello friends! Yay for Fridays and for new challenges! This week at CAS-ual Fridays we're looking for clean and simple creations where two different elements are combined: chevron and flowers. Isn't it a match made in heaven? :)
Ellen Hutson is the sponsor for this challenge. Want to know something more about the prize she's offering? Check it here!
This time I challenged myself and tried to use the required elements in other way than stamping. So the chevrons were embossed on the card base, and the flowers are in the form of patterned paper. I combined two different sentiments and heat embossed them in gold. Don't you love the gold trend? Well, I do!
And a close up
I hope you'll give a try to this fun challenge. Happy weekend and thanks for visiting!
