Spring - New Life & New Beauty (CD #647)

04/13/2025 Update: This card was a Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers.

Thank you for stopping by my blog. This is my card for a Color Dare Challenge. There are only two colors for this challenge, as shown on the color board below. I added gold foiled cardstock as an optional third color, in addition to using white. For guidelines, check out the Color Dare 647 Blog. This is a biweekly challenge running through Thursday, April 24, 2025.

The background was created with a stencil and adhered to an orange panel. Dies were used to cut the fancy gold ring, and the remaining elements were stamped, colored with Copic markers, and fussy cut. A bit of green ink was applied to the edge of a plain white die-cut circle. 

Once everything was adhered to the stenciled panel, the sentiment was stamped directly onto the card front. Three gold gems were added. A white card base was used. The inside of the base was decorated with coordinating fussy-cut flowers.

I also added this card to the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #27.
