I just love how that fresh yellow pops off the aqua, especially with those touches of white. (BTW, you can see a larger version of the photo over at Time Out.)
Well, since the challenge is being sponsored by Altenew, I headed to my stash and had a looksee. I also headed to my stash of backgrounds looking for something nice and aqua and amazingly enough I found what I needed!
Then in a nod to the pile of books in the photo I inked up my Label Love sentiment with four blocks of color. I tore the edges of the background and adhered it. Stitched my sentiment down and adhered the yellow motif with foam adhesive. A few shiny sequins finished my card. Wish you could see the metallic sheen of the aqua BG, it really makes the card.
I'm looking foward to seeing your entries in the gallery, and how you choose to interpret the photo.
Many thanks to Sandie and the design team for having me. It's such fun to be part of the inspiration post for this month's photo challenge. I'll be back with a second make later...

WOW! I really love this striking color combo and I would say you really were inspired by that photo. Great use of the die cut flower. The simplicity of this card is really beautiful. Thanks for playing along with us at the Die Cut Diva's February challenge.
Wow, perfect background for your flower based on the photo inspiration for the other challenge. So glad you could join us at Die Cut Divas for our February Challenge
What a gorgeous take on the inspiration, Maria. I LOVE that beautiful aqua background and that awesome lemon yellow embossed flower atop it. The sentiment label is brilliant - a fabulous composition. It's joy to have you designing with us at Time Out!

sorry so late in commenting on your totally stunning cards. I just love how vibrant they are and the background washes give your cards such a fun and arty look. I just love how you picked out the yellow here. And reading your post I thought....what is she talking about...'a pile of books'.....I so, so missed them! Love how we all pick out such different things from photos. And what a super way to display your take on the books. I am so pleased you like my photos...already look for some for 2021...you can't get rid of us! So enjoyed having you as GD x
Another stunning card for us! Love the rainbow color look of your sentiment! xx
