Have you heard of The Cutting Edge Challenge? It's fairly new and such a fun challenge! We all love to use die-cutting in our card making so I think I'm gonna be playing a lot with this one.
It's their 5th challenge this week and they've given us a beautiful project by Melania Deasy to inspire.
Isn't that gorgeous?! I love her design using the bottom, right corner and those colors are so pretty!
Here's my take, turning the design to create a top-folding card.
I used all Simon Says Stamp products. The flowers are from the Floral Bookmarking clear set and they have matching dies. I also used their Triangle Border Die, and the sentiment is from the Hi, Lovey set.
I'm not sure the sentiment works with the "you" die-cut. It actually comes with a period in between the words Hi and Lovely, which I didn't really understand. So, I dipped my craft pick in the same ink and changed it to a comma. Hopefully you're reading it the way I meant it to be understood. It would be as if someone said, "Hi, you." Or, "Hello there, lovely you." Anyway, I like the way it turned out - it was a fun card to create!
I sure am enjoying playing in more challenges and I'm hoping I can continue finding enough time to craft more often.
Thanks for stopping by! I'm off to work - have a great day! ♥

LOVE this, Barb! Beautiful choice of colors! I'm pinning it, as I have this new set, too, but haven't played yet with it......
You sound like me on the card I made last week where the so much was on top of the thank you and I didn't like it...we're our own toughest critics. I read it as...you are lovely :) Truly think this design is absolutely fabulous. Love the variety of die cuts Barb.
your card is wonderful - love it!
This is a lovely card, Barb. Also, just want to say how much I enjoy your blog...love your positive happy approach to things.
Have a fabulous day at work Barb and thank you for this inspiration!

Both you and your card are lovely! I especially love the different die cuts you used! Just lovely! ;)
This is such a beautiful take on Melania's card, Barb! I love the bright, cheery colors and your choice of flowers and die cuts is fabulous! I'm so glad you're playing along in challenges...even though it can be hard to find the time...Great job, my friend!!!
So pretty, Barb! I love the way you interpreted the challenge card and made it your own. The sentiment makes sense to me. :)
Lovely card Barb.

GORGEOUS!! Love the composition and colors!Wow!
What an absolutely DARLING card, Barb! I love everything about it!
You've been one productive paper-crafter!
Barb, this is AWESOME!! And I love that you corrected the grammar on that sentiment. Bad grammar in sentiments drives me nuts! LOL Love your take on the challenge - Brilliant! Thanks so much for playing with us at the Cutting Edge Challenge - we're so glad you did!
