The Flower Challenge 2 Add a Stencil

 

It's  reminder time, folks and The Flower Challenge asks for the use of

a stencil for the month of  October.

October! Can you believe it?

I've used a Greetery stamp and stencil, Sketched Wildflower Bouquet, 

and die cut it over my framed image.

The beautiful flower bouquet has a stencil set and die to use 

with the stampset.

Background is The Greetery's Floral Arches.

Hope you add your stenciled beauty to our lineup! 

Remember the challenge ends on the 25th.

I added a little onyx glitter to the flowers. 

Always fun to see your creations!

The Flower Challenge September: Include a Stamped Flower

Hello September! 

We're celebrating stamping  at  The Flower Challenge this month, and you're 

invited to use a stamped flower on your card. 

I love this shuttered window die, and it's interactive opening. My window

opens to an all  over floral image (the Greetery)

I added stamped Morning Glories (The Greetery), and deepened parts of  the stamping

with  colored pencils.

Finally, the blessings sentiment.  (The Greetery)

Hope  your challenges this month include The  Flower Challenge!

The Flower Challenge Reminder #94 - Be Inspired by the Colors

 

Hi and welcome to a reminder that there's a flower challenge going  on!

Lots of  ideas for making a card using our colors. You must use at least

3 of the colors, and flowers must be your main theme.

I chose The Greetery's Sunflowers and added an autumn sentiment. 

Let's see  what you come up with. Challenge ends on the 25th.

See you in the lineup

Eden's blanket

 

Hello there, and welcome to a post I don't normally share.

Our first granddaughter is having our first great granddaughter in October.

Beyond thrilled, I crocheted a baby blanket for her.

I found this pattern online and will share the link at the end of the post.

Taylor, our granddaughter is into all things soft, and this baby soft yarn is

soft and cuddly!

I love how it turned out, and love that our sweet little baby girl will be 

wrapped in it.

I was so happy to see a baby card Betsy Veldman made recently using her little one

nestled in the wire basket. Just had to 'borrow'  her creative genius.

As you can imagine we're eagerly awaiting news for the arrival of Baby Eden.

The Flower Challenge #94 Be Inspired by The Colors

 

Greetings August, hello and welcome to this month's Flower Challenge.

We're celebrating color this month, and invite you to create a card

with these beautiful pastels. Just be sure to make flowers the main

star on your card.

my inspiration card features The Greetery's geraniums and pot, with a birthday

greeting. The beautiful new Argyle ef from Spellbinders is the back drop

to my florals.

I add4d white accents to the petals with a gel pen. (Kinda wish I hadn't), and finished

with Poppystamps gems.

Play along through the 25th of August. See you in the lineup!

Reminder #93 - Make a Birthday Card

The Flower Challenge - July 2024 Make a Birthday Card

 

Welcome July!

Summer's in full swing and We have a delightful challenge for you at 

The Flower Challenge.

Who couldn't use a few extra birthday cards in their stash?

My sample  card features several Sizzix Tim Holtz dies.

I love creating with dies! Fast simple stunning images that pop off a card!

The background die is called Layered Dots. I  sponged on some shading on 

top and bottom  before adding my Wildflowers #1 and 3.

A  bit of watercolor pencil shading and done! 

Birthday is an old PTI script die.

Happy is from The Greetery's Birthday Blooms.

Have at it and play along! We celebrate a month long challenge

until the 25th. Summer's a great time to add to your stash!

spritzing.
