Good Morning.
Meet today's card.
Keeping it very clean and simple using a new-to-me stamp set from Simon Says.
I began my card by stamping the flowers all over my white cardstock panel. I started near the centre and stamped outwards being sure to stamp in all the spaces. That set has a larger image and lots of smalls to fill in with.
Now most people would just go ahead and colour in the flowers but I decided to go in another direction. So next, I took a blue Tombow marker and coloured in the background around the flowers which really helped make a fun looking pattern. I used a curved die to cut the panel and then glued them onto another piece of cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment, then punched it out with a circle punch, added another flower from the set to the centre and a blue button to the centre of that. I pop dotted that over the curve.
Have a great week and thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

This is such an interesting card Karen with its curved split in the pretty background piece and then the circular sentiment with its sweet blue button in the centre. A great idea to make the all over pattern of flowers and then just colour the spaces. Very eye catching! x
What patience... firstly to do the all over stamping and then to colour the blue in between. Wow...on this very striking card x
What an awesome card! Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More and I look forward to seeing your beautiful cards again soon! Hugs, Gwendolyn
It was great job fitting the flowers into your design. Thank you for joining us at CASology this week. Hugs - Bharati
So much fun in your latest creation! Love that you "colored outside the lines". The swirly die-cut is a great idea too!!
That is a great look Karen, I love how you have used the die too
So very beautiful.
This reminds me of some vintage fabric I have, Karen. I love it with the dark background and white flowers.
I love how you colored the background instead. It's awesome looking. That round greeting with the swirly in it is perfect for this card (and the dot of matching blue).
Simply fantastic. An awesome card . . . love everything about it x
What a great card!
Absolutely beautiful Karen, love the colours and design, Kate x x
Hello Karen!! I love how you use the stamp set to illustrate the cue card. To fit the smaller stamps in the open areas. Nicely done. Thank you for playing along with CASology this week.
Karen, I'm in awe of your background colouring, so cool and a great way to use the stamps in a different way :)
Beautiful blue! This is such a pretty design, Karen! A wonderful monochromatic design!
Thanks for playing along with us again over at CASology! :)
Love the negative colouring - such a beautiful blue.

Karen, this is such a fun card, and I love that you were able to color just the background in blue to make the rest of it really pop! Beautifully done! Hugs!
