Today I'm sharing a card made for our second Color Hues challenge of 2025. Stef is our hostess this fortnight and she has chosen the duo of Navy and Lime. This is such a beautiful color combination. I really should turn to it more often.

Everything (sans cardstock) used on my card today is from Spellbinders. The background is embossed with a 3D folder. The focal point was cut and matted with one of my favorite die sets. The sentiment was stamped on the upper and lower 2/3 of the oval. The sub-sentiment was heat embossed in white onto matching navy cardstock and adhered in the center. The florals were all die cut from matching cardstocks. I had planned to adhere this to my standard A2 card base however the dimensions were off. I solved this by adhering it to an A7 (5x7) base but ended up trimming off a 1/4" on the top and bottom. It just looked more balanced this way. (Finished card dimensions are 5" x 6.5")
And because this is the first time I've used this stamp set I'm sharing this with Darnell. I'm guessing she's swamped this time of year.
*Sorry, not sorry*

Jukes this is such a great card, I absolutely love all the tiny flowers combined with that great sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI see you're good to your word about working on your NBUS stash, Jules. This is such a pretty card, with the lovely embossing behind the sweetly decorated sentiment oval - those tiny flowers are delightful! Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely card! I love the design and am pinning it to remember this design. Recently, I got a set of the elongated ovals, and I love the way you used it. It's a design that would work for so many occasions.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Gorgeous! Love every element of this card, right down to the dots in the centers of your flowers. Awesome inspiration for our challenge.

Beautiful card Jules. Love the arched sentiment and lovely embossed background. The little flowers and leaves are perfect with your design.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Jules! I love how you've layered the navy background and the split sentiment and the pop of lime for the oval mat. Then those little flowers are the sweetest touch!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of a layered background in the same color. Your card is just gorgeous! Everything is placed perfectly! Well done!
