Welcome
I had fun with paint chips when I made this flower - The colours I used were Red Alert and Lime Leaf - both British Paints brands.
I embossed the background using the 'fade' technique, and also emphasised the blank by outlining it with an embossed oval
The flower was die cut in the two colours (the chips are quite large) and then inlaid it into the background
There were a couple of 'oops' in that process, plus a wee dab of colour where it should not have been, so what better than some rhinestones to do a cover-up job and embellish?
The edges of the feature panel and the sentiment were (heat) embossed in gold.

Beautiful card, Maxine. Great use of the paint chips and the embossing makes a lovely frame around the flower. xx
Hi Maxine, you make me want to hit Bunnings and Mitre 10 up for some supplies. Love the bright colours and the pretty inlaid die cut. Have a wonderful weekend... Megan
Beautifully done Maxine. The colours are so stunning. Aren't paint chips so cool to use. Must look out for some of the British Paints ones
A very nice card

A great way to use the paint chips. Well done. They were bigger than the ones we usually get which makes them more useful. I like the die cut, and every card needs a little bit of bling. Kate xx
I love the bright colors and great use of paint chips. The rhinestones look as though you had planned them! Beautiful! Enjoy your day!
Beautifully done Maxine. Love the gold edge. A really fun embossed texture too. Was thinking of you this weekend. Sending love and wishes that you're surrounded by love and support as this might be a particularly tough one if memory serves me correctly. Big hugs, Wends xoxo

Such a dreamy, exotic and bright flower. Rhinestones are such a good way to hide faux pas.
Love,

The fade technique for your dry embossed background is awesome. I haven't done that, will have to learn!! Your flower is so bright and beautiful cut from the paint chips. And I love that you've added that little bit of gold embossing on the edges. Great techniques and a beautiful card Maxine! xx
