Celebrate with Wildflowers

Hello Blogger Friends. Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today. 

It's been a great couple of days weather wise here. The air is a bit cooler, and I have my windows open to let in some fresh air. I was able to do that for a few days this billing cycle to save a bit  on my electric bill. The bill dropped $60 which is good for any budget. 

My hubby's flower garden is in full bloom. He just cut some of the blooms today and we have such a beautiful bouquet right from the garden. I love it when we can do that. Another way to save money so I am not buying bouquets from Trader Joe's (LOL)!

Now onto my card for today. This one I created for the color challenge #1014. We were to use white, black and crumb cake (kraft). Optional is to add some bling.

Well, the colors were a bit of a challenge to me. Then I decided to use some allowed neutrals on my card, and it came together for me. I used blackberry bliss and mossy meadow and created a mini slimline design.

My background is crumb cake designer paper from the Stampin' Up "perfectly artistic" collection. I embossed the paper using the fancy fan embossing folder. I like the white swirls on the paper.

Then for my flowers, (which is where the challenge came in) I decided to use mossy meadow as a die inlay technique for the leaves and blackberry bliss designer paper for the flower centers. Since there is gold swirling through this paper pattern, I am counting this as my bling. The designer paper is from the Stampin' Up "blackberry beauty" collection.

To finish off my card, I added some greenery to the corners and the celebrate phrase is in black and crumb cake.

Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time.......God bless.
