Bold and Beautiful.

This card is definitely bold. Beautiful is a matter of opinion. I had fun putting it together. I don’t use the Stampin’ Up! Bold Brights that often but sometimes an idea will strike with them. I raided the scrap pile for this card too, which always makes me feel good.

button flowers

I used Palette Hybrid New Canvas ink. It showed up better than I had thought it would. The buttons were a last second addition. I thought it would be fun to use some from my stash.
