Friendly Flower Circles

Splitcoast Limited Supply Challenge: Small Tall Card
This Friday Paper Makeup Stamps is hosting a color challenge of Olive, Navy and Mustard. Sometimes when I'm not sure how to combine colors, I find it best to keep them separate and distinct on my card. I stamped a flower from the Friendly Flowers set once in each color. After punching them out, I ran them through my little xyron to coat them with adhesive and dazzling diamonds glitter. I just love how they sparkle! {cheesy grin}
The ribbon was an extra piece found in my stash. I wish I had more of it wherever it came from b/c it matches the mustard color so perfectly. It's kind of hard to tell in the photo, but saying is stamped in navy ink and the green pearls match the olive flower. That way each color is touched twice on this card and balanced. Is that too OCD on my part? {chuckle}
The card is a small tall card measuring 3-1/2" x 6" (6x7 piece of paper folded in half). I did my snowman card in the previous post this size with a portrait direction and decided to try the same size here, but with a landscape direction instead. It's fun to change up card sizes now and then.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day! :)

This is beautiful. Love the sparkles. The sentiment is so cute too.
How pretty - the color combination is so fresh and bright.
Such a lovely card! What a great card to give a friend just to brighten their day!
I adore this card. It's kind of simple but really effective.
ooh...this is super! I agree with the ribbon part. You never have the right one or the right amount sometimes!
Wowzers! Great job thinking "out of the box" on this one! I love how you did the flowers! Awesome job... thanks for playing in the challenge!
I agree with you, I love the sparkle on this card. I love your idea about keeping the colors separate, I will be using that little tidbit in the near future.
I love the clean look to this card!
This is the sweetest!! I love the shimmer!!
Pretty Shimmer on the flowers. They pop!!
Sweet sweet card, Michelle! Great colors and love the sentiment! Blessings to you!
The glitter is such a nice touch. Since I don't plan on getting a Sizzix, I'm thinking about trying this another way. I love new ideas, so thank you for sharing!
