I woke up with this card swimming around my imagination. Not even kidding. Someone please tell me I'm not the only person who does that. I chose my color scheme based on Color My Heart's Challenge #688 of red, yellow, and green. We had to use at least two of the three, but I used all of them plus my "free" neutrals.
This card uses a hodgepodge of products from multiple companies. The gears and white script on the background are Stampin' Up! as are the black die cut leaves, ladybug, and dew drops.
If you join me over on my Facebook Group, "Crafty Friends," you'll see several other cards that combine those gears with other floral images. The flowers and leaves are from the In Full Bloom suite of products from CTMH. The suite used a lot of filmstrips, camera, and lightbulbs to add an industrial element to the flowers. That's what inspired my use of these particular flowers with the gears in the background.
I was so happy with how this turned out, I showed it to my husband. He only sees a fraction of what I make. I've coached him to say, "Ooo, aah!" when I present him with a card. That only strokes the ego so much. But this time he said, without prompting from me, "Ooo...that's really pretty."
That's a win, people!
