DCM: - We Three ...

Here's my Daring Cardmakers dare entry for this week: -
"We Three ........"

Although inspired by the Christmas Carol "We 3 Kings of Orient are",
I wanted to to give you the chance to get more creative so you can make your card We 3.... well, anything really!

So, feel free to make a Christmas card if you like - or any other sort of card you fancy - as long as there's at least one set of three something;3 kings, 3 trees, 3 cupcakes etc on it anything goes! In fact - for an extra challenge, you could see just how many sets of 3 you can get on your card by adding 3 brads, 3 ribbons, 3 patterned papers....
I used three background squares and three flowers.
I wasn't sure about this card as it was coming together.  I tried a new technique - 'Stamped Acrylic Block Background' that I'd been sent by Splitcoaststampers and you'll recognise that the colours aren't really me.  At the end I think it's come together OK.  Add a punched border, another strip of card to balance it and a sprinkling of glitter and you can make a card come together.
Pop over to the Daring Cardmakers Blog to see what the rest of the design team have come up with.

Well, if those colours aren't really "yours" you've done a very fine job of disguising the fact - this is soooo lovely and the overlapping flowers work brilliantly.
I got that technique this week too and I might even have a go - especially now I've seen this card.
You're right, the green stripe was a master-stroke to blanace the design
