I loved these colours that take me right out of my comfort zone and I used a distressed chevron stamp for the background which gave an unusual (for me anyway) graphic look

I matted the background onto spring moss card and cut a half and half die out of black card, and then again from spring moss card, which I cut down to provide a sentiment strip for the centre.The flower was also cut twice in the same colours with the Bloom Builders 3 die to give a full, two toned flower and a gem was coloured with a Copic marker to add a little bling to the centre.
I quite liked this design so I decided to make it again in one of my favourite colours and I was so surprised at how much colour changes the feel of a design.
I can't wait to get round and see what all the other hoppers made. Thanks for looking.

Beautiful card. Wonderful design work.
Lovely cards. The colours do make a big difference.
Great cards! The chevron looks so cool stamped up and down like that and your two-coloured blooms are fabulous!
Don't you just love that chevron stamp? :) Great cards!
The Chevron is amazing on your card and the flower looks so striking ! Both are so pretty Carol, have a great weekend!
You won me over with chevrons! The way the half and half die is positioned is a great idea and I love the mix of green and black in the flower! So neat!
wow Carol these are sooooo stylish.

Great graphic background and use of the half and half die.

Great card. The flower paired with the chevrons is truly beautiful.
