I love nearly all colors, but I have to admit coral is a bit of a struggle for me, and I have no idea why. But nevertheless, I made a fun little card using my default - flowers!
Last fall I'd purchased a couple of these modern floral design die sets and thought I'd use this one from Altenew (watch for the other one from Spellbinders, it will be coming soon!). It certainly was easy to put together once the die cutting was complete and I added it to a panel where I'd inked up a bit of light yellow ink blending so the white leaves would be more visible. But the card needed a little somethin' somethin' since die cut doesn't fill a full card front, so I layered up a frame and the helped a lot.
Since the frame was black I thought a black sentiment strip would work well along with a few black enamel dots. But still...it needed something more, so I added the Baker's Twine and called it good!
We'd love to have you join us for Bonnie's challenge and I encourage you to visit the challenge blog for loads of wonderful inspiration from my very talented teammates and our guest designer, Teresa. The challenge remains open until Thursday 2/27 at 9 am EST. I do hope you'll play along!
Thanks for stopping by and take care!

How pretty is this, Stef! I think putting that large frame around it and then the added twine finished it off nicely. Everything is balanced so well. Have a great week!
Stef what a lovely card, you flowers are so much fun! I love your chunky frame and the bakers twine adds so much interest! Always love seeing what you do for the challenges Stef!
I love these modern florals, and the black frame finishes your card beautifully! You certainly made the coral work for you.
I love the shape of these flowers and I'd never know that you struggle with this color, Stef! You nailed it!
Wow, Stef that black frame really sets this off! Great card!
