It is time for another CAS Colours & Sketches challenge. Check out the latest challenge:
And here is my take:
I was a bit stumped at first with these colors, but I knew I could use some fun & funky flowers and make it work. I found an old Freshly Made Sketch and everything started to come together.
The circle frame is popped up. The inner circle is flat on the card base and has a bit of navy spritzed on it.
After I stamped and die cut the flowers, I decided they needed a bit more interest so I added some navy accents. The top flower felt too solid so I added a rhinestone (which led me to add more rhinestones on the card), and the bottom flower needed even more interest so I white embossed a dot to the center.
The sentiment was white embossed on navy cardstock and then fussy cut.
When I was done, the card reminded me of my teenage years with all the 80s neon and preppy argyle.
This turned out to be one of my favorite cards – which is why I love challenges!!
I hope you join us at CAS Colours & Sketches!
Thanks for stopping by!

Love, love, love this Karen! you argyle border with your featured circle of flowers is so pretty. Such a crisp and clean design.
Love how the circle frames the flowers perfectly. Fabulous card. x
This is so pretty.
I love how you have used the colours – I would never have known that you found them tricky to work with! Beautiful design and lovely use of white space!
I wouldn’t have thought to pair flowers with argyle but you’ve made it look fantastic! I like how the leaves extend from the circular frame. Super job overall!
