The Flower Challenge August: Add Embellishments
Hello Flower Challenge fans! And Happy August!
Time for a new Challenge, and this month we asking for embellishments.
All those sweet blings that shine on our cards.
Altenew's Golden Days is the flower on my card. It begins with hot
foiling, and then adding stencils. It actually takes up more than an A2
card, so I trimmed off the edges.
The frame is Waffle Flower's Quilted Frames.
One of my embellishments is this foiled bird I found in my stash.
Also added some gold rhinestones.
Go ahead and add as many blings as you like for this one!
Everyone loves play with bling!

The Flower Challenge #103 - Add Embossing (Heat or Dry)
It's June! and lots of time for crating.
The Flower Challenge is all about June this challenge and we're
asking you to use embossing.
My featured flower is a showstopper from Altenew, called Fairy Tale Florals.
Part of the set is an embossing folder that I had such fun inking after I
embossed the image.
I inked my dauber with Picket Fence Distress Ink, and then gently went over
certain spots with Tumbled Glass Oxide. It really lifted the color up!
Then with a white gel pen, I hi-lighted the center stamens.
Just a Note is from The Greetery. It's called, Scripted Sentiments.
Love the way it fits the graceful florals!
Our challenge is through the 25th!

Reminder #85 'Anything Goes' and 7th Birthday
We're celebrating a birthday over at The Flower Challenge, and our theme
this month is 'Anything Goes'.
A special celebration calls for a special flower, and my card features Altenew's
very glamorous 'Golden Days.'
First hotfoiled, then stenciled, with a slight darkening with pencil, simply done before
adding the die cut sentiment.
There's still plenty of time to join the celebration.
The post closes on the 25th.
Happy 7th Birthday Flower Challenge!

The Flower Challenge Reminder #81: Use Your Favourite Flower
We're half way through the month of June, and it's time to remind you of
The Flower Challenge's Challenge: Use Your Favorite Flower.
If you saw my last post, (The Flower Challenge #81: Use Your Favorite Flower)
I told you the story of why the rose is my favorite.
My reminder card is again a rose, this time a rose named Joseph's Coat.
There is no amount of stamping, stenciling or die cutting that can capture
the beauty of this scented rose. It's coloring goes from scarlet to pink to honey,
and each petal is ombre.
Once again I used Altenew's Ambridge Rose, this time the largest flower,
and the stencils that coordinate with it.
My background is inked, white and gold splattered, and stamped with
the Ambridge Rose leaves.
Congrats is from The Greetery, Graduate as well.
Memory Box: Stitched Rectangle Trimmings.
Hope to see your favorite flower in The Flower Challenge. You have
plenty of time, so choose 2 favorites... or three!

It reminder time at The Flower Challenge, and the cue is Pretty Pastels.
I've done a card with Altenew's Carolina Allspice, with soft yellows and ochres, with a touch
of pink on the edges. The sentiment thanks comes with the die set.
The Postmark dies are from The Greetery, as is the stamp. The lighter pink is
stamped with an old rubber stamp I've had for years.
You have 2 weeks left to join the fun! Pick a favorite flower, done up in pastels,
and play along.
Happy crafting!

The Card Concept New Arrival or Busy Bee
Well Hello friends!
We have a new challenge at the Card Concept: New Arrival or Busy Bee.
Guess what I chose?
Just had to play with The Greetery's Honey Bee dies for this one!
Mostly inked the bees, but added some white pen, and vellum for wings.
If you look closely, I colored some glossy accents and dipped the honey
stick into it.
I was definitely inspired by the bee images on the inspiration photo
I also used the colors, and honey vibe for my vintage and Layered card.

Good Wednesday Morning! Playing along today with the Color Hues Challenge,
where we are challenged with Green and Gold.
I used Altenew's Build a Flower Honeysuckle, and stamped with various greens from
Distress Oxide Inks.
the first layer is gold embossed, then multi-stamped.
Have to say, green was a bit challenging for some reason.
If you'd like to play with Gold and Green, the blog is below.
Happy Hump Day!
