Graphic and Flowers

Hello!

I love the mix of a graphic pattern with flowers. I love the contrast of the sharp lines against the curves of nature. This week's collaboration between Runway Inspired Challenge and CAS(E) This Sketch provides me the opportunity to play in this way.
I used PTI Square Prints and Pretty Peonies. The sentiment is wPlus9 Strictly Sentiments II.
It took me a while to work out how I was going to reflect this inspiration. All the design team members have done such beautiful work already and I didn't want to just make a card "just like theirs". I think I've managed to make something a little different, but still close enough to the inspiration. What do you think?

We have the most beautiful Easter week-end here. The sun is shining. It is still a bit too hot during the days, but we are finally getting some lovely Autumn nights. I look forward to the night temperatures dropping just a bit more so that I can really enjoy my doona without having to leave a foot or leg outside. ;-)

Thanks for coming by to visit!  Happy Easter everyone!

Michelle

    Love this Michelle! The mix of graphic and flower is gorgeous! I love the angle rather than the curve too!

    Love your interpretation! That angle is so strong! Love it against the flower. Beautiful!

    Beautiful interpretation of the sketch. I love how dramatic the look of black, red, and white can be.
