Good morning, my friends! It's time for a new year of challenges, and I am ready!
I LOve the new look over at Just Us Girls and their first challenge of 2024 is a color challenge...
I've taken a cue from a few of their team members and toned down the green a little.
These gorgeous Spider Mums are a die that I bought from The Stamp Market last year - aren't they exotic looking? I layered the flower heads with shades of teal and navy [the back flower] and just teal for the other but blended each with navy to bring them to life a little. The background is another TSM die called Leaves cover die which I've cut from white and just for interest and texture.
Inside: 'is a friend like you!'
The sentiment is from another TSM Chrysanthemum set stamped in navy.
Thanks, JUGS, for a beautiful start to 2024!

Awesome flowers, Michele! They work beautifully with the teal and navy! I think they'll be awesome in other colors too. You've rocked another challenge, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThose spider mums are GORGEOUS in the teal and navy Michele...such a beautiful color combination! And of course the green too! And the embossed background sets the whole card off beautifully! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
