I wasn't going to post this card, as I'm not sure if I like it or not. It has the wrong kind of white space... It's also the subtle colours, I think it looks a bit drained. I deal better with bright colours (something very pink is coming your way soon...). But it did grow on me a bit, so I thought what the heck, let's just put it out there. It's all about embracing the imperfections and finding something good in everything. I do like the colouring of the flower.
The inspiration for this card was the same sketch as yesterday's card over at Stampin' Royalty. As I already submitted one card over there, I won't submit this one. The colours are from the Colour Me...! challenge, I will submit the card for that challenge.
Stamps: Hero Arts Layered Flowers, Stampin' Up Chalk Talk
Ink: Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black, Copics Y13, Y15, Y19, R20, R24, Stampin' Up Blushing Bride
Other: Daisy Embossing folder (free with an old issue of a crafting magazine)
I sure am glad you decided to post this card! I absolutely love the flower and your coloring: I did click on the photo to see it up close because it looks so three-dimensional! And I think the white space is completely fine. The pastel colors complement the strong colors of the flower and don't take away from it as the main focal point.
