This color challenge is definitely a challenge for me...not comfortable with the slate color...certainly not very springy. Finally decided on a flower that was a purple and yellow...either an iris or pansy Off to Cricut Design Space...the Flower Market . . . Perfect iris cut.
First went to my Inventory spreadsheet to see what paper packs had Eggplant...other than Paper Fundamentals there was only one paper pack with that color and I chose that to give some texture to the flower and the canary yellow was not difficult because it's in several paper packs.
Cut design papers for the flower and the slate for the stem. Didn't particularly care for the grey stem ... so cut another stem with the same yellow design paper, layered the pieces using the slate piece as a shadow for the stem. Cut another slate piece for the flower and layered also as a shadow. Layering the flower and stem with the slate for a shadow met the challenge of using slate (see photo below). Tried to include a slate frame but that just didn't give me the result I wanted either so used cardstock in the two primary colors.

WOW!!!! I haven't tried using the flower market cartridge yet! Maybe I should check it out! Again, WOW!!!
Love the way you layered your Iris, so beautiful!
Love that slate shadow you added to your gorgeous flower, Sue. Subtle yet effective!
Looks great! I like the layers on your flower, gives the card a fabulous look.
Lovely...I love how you used the patterned papers for your Cricut cut!
Clever way to use that Slate colour that you were having a hard time incorporating into the mix... and you STILL managed to use tons of layers as per your normal style! Love it!
I love your Slate shadow layer and the eggplant patterned paper! Very clever! Thanks for inspiring me today and also for linking up to the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog.

I'm not sure what the problem was Suzanne but I was able to fix it for you :) love your card, especially the hearts...wondering which milestone birthday you were going for as this beauty could fall under so many! :)

Thank you Cindy. A lot of my cards are left open for any occasion and thought this made a nice spring birthday card, but milestone did not catch in the challenge...but let's say 40's or 50's.

A very clever idea to leave the card 'open'. It could then be used for many various occasions. Lovely colour combination. The striped background is a perfect Matt for the beautiful flower.
