ABS say it with ...

A sad sigh as this is my last challenge as Annabelle Stamps June guest designer. I would like to thank Andrea and her fabulous design team and off course all who participated in the challenges for their kind words left on my blog.
For the final 'say it with...' challenge for June I sort of struggled with the colour combo and ended up not liking my original card so I left it for a few days and came back to it and went completely in another direction and made another card using the following criteria ...

And I have to say that I love the card and the colours are wonderful together!

this is a 'Z' card and this is my first one. I used an edge craft punch along the top of the card and it is easier to do this before scoring the card!

here is the front and as you can see I have used 'Ballerina Rose' stamps again - I love this set!

and inside the card

'Z' cards are fab to make but really when you look at my card it is reversed and more an 'S' card! I just realised as I posted this card that I have it back to front ... silly me! Oh well only you and I know that I have it wrong, whoever gets the card won't know!

I have also made this card following sketch #195 from Mojo Mondays. The concept of the 'Z' card is for Paper Playtime and the theme of 'flowers as the main focus' from Kaboodle Doodles.
