Country Flowers & Simply Said Birthday Card

This birthday card with goodies in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog is for three challenges. 

First, I've used the sketch at the Freshly Made Sketches#624 here.

And then it's for the TGIF Challenge#470 here. It's a technique/theme challenge of pocket full of posies. I thought this sketch combined really well with this as I used the diagonal to create the pocket part for the flowers.

Finally, it's for As You See It#322 here. It's a Mission Impossible theme to fill in the blank: "The color I use least in my crafting is..." It's definitely Wild Wheat for me, or really, any of the 2023-2025 In Colors!

Country Flowers is the stamp set with some Country Woods DSP.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Country Flowers & Simply Said

Papers: White, Basic Gray, Wild Wheat, Shaded Spruce, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia

Inks: Black, Wild Wheat, Shaded Spruce, Flirty Flamingo, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party

Accessories: Country Flowers dies, Eyelet 3D embossing folder, Stampin dimensionals

Wild Wheat is a really divisive colour - I think that while I don't like it just as a colour, I do find that it works well with many other colours, almost like some kind of weird neutral. :-) Your card is a nice mix of textures and patterns. Thanks for sharing with us again at As You See It.

I'm totally with you on Wild Wheat although the couple of times that I used it, it did actually work well - as it does on your card! I love the bouquet and the bitty flowers that accent the sentiment. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

Jennie, I don't think you're alone in your feelings about Wild Wheat! I do like Copper Clay and Pebbled Path though. I love your layout and the interesting mix of colour on your card! Thanks for filling in the blank for us at As You See It Challenges!

Wild Wheat is a strange color but the more I use it the more I like it! I am surprised that I have been using it su much this spring as a neutral. Looks great on your card!
