Hello, glad you are visiting! I made this card for the new challenge at the Alphabet Challenge. We made it all the way to the last letter of the alphabet – “Z” for Zig Zag.
The image I used is a floral from Hero Arts that has been in my collection for a couple years I would guess. I have colored it in the past, but decided to keep black and white this time. The only color I added was to the leaves so they would stand out from the flowers.
I fussy cut the image, and mounted it on a white die cut, all over a piece of zig zag vellum. The color scheme seemed to be much more of a sympathy card than something for spring. A few black rhinestones finished it off.

This is really pretty. I love just the pop of green on the leaves and that little bit of vellum for a soft feel. Thanks for joining us at Use Your Stuff this challenge.
