Black, White and a Pop of Color for Three Challenges

Black, White and a Pop of Color is the challenge at Stampin' Royalty this week.  The Colour Me challenge this week is Yellow with neutrals allowed.  I followed the Freshly Made Sketch to make this card.

My focal panel was made with a new embossing folder by Close To My Heart.  I embossed it in White Daisy and then again in Canary and carefully cut the flower out.  I was inspired to do this from this card I found on Pinterest.

      White Daisy CS

      Black CS

      Canary CS

      Floral Embossing Folder

      Licorice Opaque Adhesive Gems (retired)
