Welcome
This card had two sources of inspiration, not the least being the Less is More current colour challenge. I taught the colour-blocking background technique at my last class - Natasha Foote's video on this was my inspiration there, although I have done this before...
I decided to use the colour prompt for my background, and kept the stamping very simple, stamping in black on white and then die cutting the rose from this set by Stamp Simply, and popping it up on dimensional tape.
I then stamped the sentiment (a well used, original stamp, still available) and embossed it in Egg Plant EP - one of my original powders that must be 20 yes old or more!!
I finished the inside by stamping the rose bed in Limoncello ink in opposite corners
I was really pleased with how this turned out.

Purple and yellow is a colour palette I adore Maxine and one I often use, the design of today's card is very pleasing on the eye.

Hi Maxine, a superb card for the colour prompt, love the colour blocking you have used. I still have some stamps from 20 years ago, maybe now I'm better at it I should try them out again... I could never get them to completely stamp the designs... Have a wonderful week.. Megan
Beautiful card and loving the beautiful goodies and colours. xx
Gorgeous colour combination, a striking background and such a beautiful card Maxine x.
The colours. Really pop on this lovely card! Thanks for sharing with Polkadoodles this week Nelly Dt x
Such a pretty card with this color combination. The color blocking is pretty with the rose stamp. The inside is pretty also. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
I love the color combination of yellow & purple! So pretty!

That rose is beautiful in black & white, but your background is the real eye-catcher here; it is stunning1 Hugs, Gerrina
I love the color combo.
Your Color Blocking is gorgeous! I just love that you kept your rose black and white! Such a beautiful card!
Such an impactful background, love all the textures and different depths of cover. At Less is More we prefer to see areas of unpatterned/untextured white space, so to truly follow our guidelines more blank space would be required. But it's certainly a gorgeous creation, please do join use again, Anita x
Beautiful card Maxine, I love that background technique design! The color combo is lovely as well. The rose is so pretty and I'm glad you kept with no color. That's cool your embossing powder is old, lol, I have some old ones too as I don't emboss as often as I probably should. Love how you did the inside as well. Just as beautiful! Hugs, Brenda
Such a beautiful card! Love the combo with yellow and purple. The rose is awesome! Well done, Maxine!
Wow wow wow Maxine. I LOVE this card.
