Just Us Girls #495 - Word Week

Hey friends!  It's Word Week over at Just Us Girls and Angie chose SMILE!

 

I got all mixed up with days of the week with the July 4th holiday being during the middle of the week, and at around 10:00 Friday evening I realized I didn't make a card for this challenge!  Thank goodness for inspiration from Altenew's packaging with their stamp sets!  I pretty much cased one of their examples on the packaging, changing up the colors.  This is one of their newer sets called Sunflower Daisy.  I just changed up the colors to match the Color Throwdown colors.  The flower actually looks like a gerbera daisy so I thought it was safe!  I stamped the flower in three shades of Catherine Pooler red inks and added black for the last layer.  The leaves were stamped in four different Altenew greens.  I stamped the sentiment and then die cut the main panel and black panel with stitched rectangle dies.  I mounted it on craft foam and added sequins and some shimmer to the center of the flower.  I love red, black and green on a card!  So striking!

 

Here is the link to the Color Throwdown challenge I'm entering.
