Hello … bonjour! Our wonderful new challenge starts this morning at Time Out … this fortnight … We Challenge You To Be … Wild! Here’s where I went with the theme …
Yep, wild flowers … in luscious blue and teal hues with a touch of minty green. Winnie & Walter provided all the elements of this design … the blooms (In Bloom: Victoria’s Very Merry Flowers), the dotty grey background (Mini Scenery: Spotty) and the sentiment (Sentimental: Birthday) … and I added a scattering of Nuvo Grey Mist Jewel Drops.
Where will our challenge take your creative imagination … to wild things, as mine did … to a wild colour palette … to a wild design … or somewhere else? Wherever it takes you, we’d love to see what you create! This time round, we’re sponsored by Winnie & Walter (thanks, Shay!) … our winner, as voted for by the DT will receive a $25 GC from the store … and as usual, will be invited to guest design with us in a future challenge. All the details are over at Time Out, along with plenty of fabulous inspiration from our wonderful DT … and from our uber talented Guest Designer, my delightful friend (and probably yours too!), Darnell. You already know and love her … why not pop over to see her and let her know that!
I’m playing along at …

What delightfully pretty card Anita and a great idea to use wild flowers to interpret the theme. I love the colours you have used and the soft grey dots go beautifully in the background, and a great sentiment too. I will try and put an entry in this time. x

Beautiful card, Anita. Love your take on the theme. The flowers are so very pretty! Great cluster. What a neat visual design as well, with the angles and then the dotty background. A wonderful feast for the eyes! Thanks so much for sharing! Hugs!
I was trying to figure out how your card fit with the challenge…then I read your description. Very clever indeed! This is a gorgeous card!
Of course, wildflowers…wouldn’t have thought of that! I am loving that spotty background you’ve created…it kind of fits with the wild theme as it reminds me of a cheetah!
