I spend a lot of time on Pinterest looking for inspiration and I saw several floral cards with colored flowers on black cardstock. I really like the contrast it gives and ofcourse had to give it a try myself.
I embossed the black panel. On top of that I added 3 flowers and some leaves. The flower set is from Papertrey Ink Into The Blooms Dahlia. I choose pink and yellow. I inked up the middle of the flowers to give it a more realisitic look. I also added a bit of ink on the flowers. I added a sentiment from Marianne Design LR0750 Van Harte in gold metallic cardstock.
So an unusual color combination but very beautiful I think.
I will be adding this to the following challenge:

Double D - Springtime Flowers
Beautiful Blossoms - Anything Floral Goes
Do-Al(I) Kreatives #100 - Spring Birthday
