Polgons and Roses

 Hi and my second late card post is for the Polygons (yes I had to google it lol)challenge at Dragonfly Dreams, chosen by Alyson. I collapsed at the beginning of the month due to not sleeping, hardly eating and low blood pressure resulting in complete bed rest and plenty of fluids

So please bear with me while I catch up with commenting

  My card was made using inspiration from Alyson, using papers from Crafters Companion and a Tonic die-cut sentiment. 



Please note if any challenges have digis for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

Twee prachtige kaarten heb je je geplaatst Carol.
Wat vervelend dat je niet fit was en rustig nodig had om weer te herstellen.
Hoop dat nu beter met je gaat.
Wens je nog een goed herstel .
Groetjes Elle-Jeanne

🌹 Hold the crafty phone — this is polygon perfection meets rose fabulousness! 😍 The geometric background is strutting its stuff like it’s on a catwalk, and those roses are basically saying, “Yes, we are this gorgeous.” Love all the texture and the classy colour combo! Thanks heaps for joining us at Ally’s Angels — you’ve officially made polygons the new cool kids on the block! 🌹

What a great shape Carol and the papers you have used are so pretty. I hope you are well recovered now and not pushing things too much!!

Lisa said...

That fancy folded design adds such a dynamic touch—the shape alone feels like a celebration! The pairing of those elegant papers with the bold sentiment gives the card a polished, joyful vibe. It's amazing how the florals soften the polygons while still keeping everything beautifully balanced.
