Hi there! I have a card! I have a card! I made it inspired by my friend Taheerah's Cure for the Monday Blues challenge... and I missed the deadline. Again. But here it is anyway. As you can see, I stretched a bit out of my graphic comfort zone.
It's still a clean card but at the same time it doesn't look that clean. Do I make sense? Perhaps it's because of the cream card base. Or because I was super brave and stamped my sentiment in red, ha! Does this happen to you? I tend to stamp the sentiments always in black or brown.
The inspiration elements from the pic were the frame and the colors red and pink. I used mint instead of aqua. In this close up you can see I used a linen textured cardstock.
All the stamps are from Avery Elle, as is the Mint ink (rest of ink used is Fresh/Impress). The gorgeous flowers are from my brand new Love Notes (gosh, how I love Nina's designs!) and the sentiment is from Oh Happy Day.
I'm also entering this card in both the new AEI(love)U Challenge, which is birthday themed, and the AE Guest Designer search. Wow! I think it's the first time I link a card to 3 different places :)
Thanks for visiting!
This is so exceedingly pretty Lorena! Love the soft colours for the flowers (and loving the colour switch of mint for aqua!) and the glitter frame is just gorgeous. Hopefully you will be on time next time! *wink* Thanks so much for playing to find a Cure For The Monday Blues!

Look at you go, girl!! This is AWESOME! I totally see your style in this project, Lorena - the clean lines, beautiful color combo, and perfect execution are all trademarks that I see in your work, and this is no exception!! I love the look of the stamped flowers on that linen paper - such a beautiful effect!! I cracked up at you missing the deadline for Taheerah's challenge . . . story of my life. LOL I am THRILLED beyond belief that you've played along with us at the Avery Elle Challenge, and hope that you'll do it again!!
