Yes! It's got a colored base!
This card was sort of an accident. I had pulled out the SU set Echoes of Kindness to play with the In Color markers. You'll notice the amazing lack of In Colors on this card, I'm sure. Somehow, I ended up with bashful blue and olive and lots of glorious white.
Sometimes it pays to go with the flow.
As soon as I finished, I knew this would be my aunt's birthday card. She's another of the many November birthdays in my family, and this suits her elegant style.
I hope you like it!

ReplyDeleteVery elegant indeed and I love the strip of text at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I like that strip of text at the bottom, too. My PTI text stamp has been neglected, so perhaps I will play with it today!
ReplyDeleteit is stunning!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Another vote for the text stamp.
ReplyDeleteOh, the blue and green together are gorgeous! And I love the little tiny strip of text. It's perfect. I hope she loves it!!!
ReplyDeleteSimple and lovely. The colors are great together, and the sea of white really emphasizes that. The flower stamp is perfect with this layout. The whole thing is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot! I'm curious (and can't tell from the photo) -- what did you pop up with the dimensionals?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You have such a gift to make simple look so stunning! Love the layout. Love the words at the bottom
ReplyDeleteI do! the text at the bottom is a perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely! I would never have thought to put the text at the bottom!
ReplyDeleteIs the image freehand? I love how it suggests a botanical without being one that dictates a color in order to be authentic. It's a must-have but I can't find it. :-(
This card is beautiful, and the colored base is lovely.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful Susan!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it.... these colours go together so well. This is a beautiful flower image and I am a sucker for text.
ReplyDeleteAnother master class in CAS!!!!
Thanks for sharing :-)
Love it!!!! And with a coloured base and a mat, to boot. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou have wonderful "accidents". I wish mine were this fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a breath-taking card. You are right, it does pay to go with the flow.
ReplyDeleteHi! Love your colors!! Never would have put the 2 together! Another great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLindsay, The white panel is popped off the olive matte so the ribbon doesn't bulge.
ReplyDeleteBahb, It's SU's Echoes of Kindness. I got it wrong and will edit the post to correct that.
So sweet and feminine!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and your beautiful flower!! I love the script along the bottom edge as well!!
ReplyDeleteAh, found it on Ebay now. Thanks, Susan. Something about that image calls my name, though I might find what's REALLY calling my name is your talent, which can't be duplicated by me buying a certain stamp, or so I've found so far. :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely color combo.
ReplyDeletereally very beautiful and elegant ! Thank you.
