I am back so soon with a card for two challenges that are about to close...
The colors of the current "The Card Concept" - white, pink, orange with a bit of grey (see further down) - really made my heart sing and with a little gentle nudging from kind Michele of "I Card Everyone" fame I sat down and made a card this weekend. Working with those beautiful colors made me so happy! I am in love with grey and love it even more combined with vibrant pink and warm orange.

Beautiful card, love that die cut and your colours combined perfectly. Wonderful
WOW! What a knockout Susanne! I'm so pleased you were "nudged" to make it, otherwise we would have all missed out on this beauty! Really LOVE it! Have a wonderful week my friend! Hazel xx
Sehr, sehr klasse, liebe Susanne!
Liebe Grüße

Completely gorgeous, Susanne ... that delicious bloom is fantastic in the bright pink and hot orange ... fabulous with the cool grey! Hugs, Anita :)
This is gorgeous, Susanne! That big and bold flower looks fabulous with the text panel.
Wow, this is gorgeous! Love the text panel in gray, the bright die cut flower and the fun sequins! Thanks for playing along with us at The Card Concept- hugs and I hope you have a great week!
LOVE those colors! Wow, and that gorgeous gray background too... spectacular! And who would've thought that sweet Michele F would spur anyone on to use gray?!
Woooow... Wonderful card Susanne!!!
Love the bright colors contrasting with the white and grey. Such pretty!
This is a stunning card!
So pretty, Susanne!! Love these colours together. What a fantastic design ... love the strip of patterned paper paired with your beautiful watercoloured flower!! xx
I totally agree with you. Gray is one of the most perfect colors in the whole wide world. Fantastic card, and a great take on the Card Concept's inspiration photo. This is just beautiful. It has a nice, warm feel to it, and that's perfect for this time of year. Great card!! Bev
That is one gorgeous flower & love it with the gray!
Wow, wunderschöne Farbkombi und wie toll die leuchtet! Erstklassig!
Whaou ! C'est magnifique Susanne ! En temps ordinaire je n'aime pas trop le gris (trop triste !) mais ici combiné avec le orange et le fuchsia, c'est tout simplement splendide ! J'adore ton design très épuré grace à cette fleur, qui même très imposante par sa taille, reste très délicate et fine grâce à son aspect dentelle ajourée. Ton mélange d'encre est superbe ! J'adore ! Bises et bon WE

A splendid design with the gray & white for the border strip. Makes the hot colors on the die cut flower just pop. I love this color combo too...it's serene, but still has a lot of heat with the flower colors! The banner is just the perfect embellie. Great work! TFS
I can see why you loved the color challenge, Susanne! They are perfect for the mum and go so well with your gray elements!! I especially love your tied sediment banner! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #9! Thank you, too, for your kind get well wishes! I'm doing really well, considering, and I hope you're doing well, too!! Hugs, Darnell
I can't believe I nearly missed this one. what gorgeous vibrant colours and not ones I would think to put together bur they work perfectly. hugs Mrs A.
WOW! I'm glad Michele nudged you to create, because your results are simply amazing! The pink/orange intricate die, paired with the grey/white strip...swoon-inducing! I can see why you love this...I do, too!
hugs~c
What a beautiful flower and wonderful contrast with the softer gray!
