May is National Scrapbooking Month and Close To My Heart has a special paper pack, Live Beautifully, to help us celebrate. You can see all the papers, a coordinating stamp set, and a Cut Above Layout Kit that makes five double page layouts. The flowers remind me of old English roses, my favorites!
When I looked at the Atlantic Hearts sketch today I suddenly saw this card in the making. I hadn't yet used the back side of the pink roses, the white roses on light green. When I saw the roses were lined up and could be cut in a strip, I thought it would be the perfect element for the horizontal strip across the middle. I also thought the gold dotted overlay would work well to dress up the green ombre paper. Here's the result:
I fussy cut and popped up the pink roses, then I decided to cut out matching rose clusters to pop up over the ones on the green background. For more card ideas for Live Beautifully, you can see the one I posted last week here or follow the link of the label at the bottom of the post.
Thank you for visiting!

Vicky, what a beautiful card. I just did a card with Live Beautifully with this layout as well, and they are both so different, which I also share with ColorMyHeart Color Dare which is running a challenge the full month of May you may want to check on. Thanks for sharing with us at H2H and hope you come by for other May challenges and become a May Addict, after all you have all month to create.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh so pretty! Love the flowers and the soft pretty colours!
Thanks for fussing cutting with the SHOPPING OUR STASH crew this week!!
Vickie, this is just gorgeous! The Sea Glass paired with the pink and gold is a beautiful colour combination. There is just enough pink to set off the green and the gold adds a perfect accent without being overwhelming. It's a great sketch to start with and sometimes sticking to it is the best option. This is a terrific card :) Thanks for sharing your talent with us at Atlantic Hearts!
