Hi my crafty friends!
I'm playing along with the Flower Challenge, a blog I've fallen in love with, where
the call is to use embossing: heat or dry.
Let's hear it for florals!
I used a stamp and die set from Altenew called Book Club.
Before I embossed my Aqua Mist yardstick, I stamped the leaves from
Wallpaper Art (Altenew)and inked the leaves loosely.
sentiment PTI Birthday Classics: June.
The flowers were colored on Olive Twist cardstock with Faber-Castel Polychromos pencils
after embossing in white.
My birthday stash is growing steadily. Don't you just love having birthday cards
ready to give?
The flower Challenge has a prize from Altenew this week, and runs through
the 25th. Plenty of time to play along...
Altenew's photo challenge is pictured here:
Cool photo with so many possibilities!
Have a blessed week!
Oh my word Nancy, this is stunning!!!

I love how you stamped your leaves first and then embossed your background layer...soooo striking!! And stamping your florals on the green cardstock and coloring with the pencils is just BEAUTIFUL!! Perfectly grounded with the sentiment in the circle too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)
