The Flower Challenge #85 7th Birthday Celebration

Hello, and welcome to a celebration of 7 years for The  Flower Challenge!

The party is going on,  folks, and you're invited to join the fun!

Anything goes is the theme, just make a beautiful card, (or 2 or 3) and play along!

My card features a couple of oldies from Flora & Fauna, called: Summer Snail

and Happy Flowers. I love the free freedom of the sketches on these stamps. 

They just make me smile.

My 'Anything Goes' used some dies colored with copics, over a stamped and inked

panel.

That sweet little snail is just too cute to squish! 

Play along all month (until the 25th). We  love seeing your fabulous

creations!

Also we have some very special new designers, please give  them some love!

The Flower Challenge #85 'Anything Goes' & our 7th Birthday!

 

Card Concept Challenge: Wee One

 

Hi there! It's time for a new challenge at the Card Concept, and we celebrating with

this photo inspiration:

!

The colors against purest white was the first thing that hit me, and then followed

by 'it's a baby's room! I haven't done a baby card in awhile so I was looking forward

to creating a card with a celebration baby theme.

For my Clean and Layered, I used the Greetery's Postage Stamp die, and cut it 

from PTI's Hawaiian Shores cardstock. To celebrate baby, I chose the balloons

from the Greetery's Balloon Bouquet, and used the colors in the photo. 

baby fox is a Flora & Fauna image from their Bohemian Forest Animals

collection. While there's no fox in the inspiration photo, there are 2 stylized 

owl pictures, and my little foxy came closest to the style of those owls.

Now it's your turn. What inspires you?

Play along  and don't forget to mention a style (use ours or make one up of your own),

and don't forget to post our inspiration photo on your blog. 

Happy stamping! (or die cutting, painting, copic coloring... well you get the idea!)

 

Card Concept Challenge: Woodland Nursery

Hello, and welcome to my blog! I'm featuring some inspiration today for The

Card Concept. Here's the photo:

Sweet, isn't it? I took the 4 squares as my starting point, and the darling

animals for my baby card. I'm calling it Clean and Layered, with a 

touch of Graphic for the squares.

The adorable animals are Flora & Fauna's Bohemian Woodland Animals, Copic

colored and popped up on a corner cropped square die from Concord & 9th. 

Sentiment: PTI: Worth The Wait.

Our challenges are 2 weeks long, and we love seeing how the inspiration

inspires your creations!

Happy Crafting!

The Flower Challenge: Sketch

Greetings flower lovers! 

I'm once again playing along with The Flower Challenge. This time it's a sketch challenge.

Here's the card I made

I had such fun making this card and here's why... most of the card elements were

already made!

I stamped the background with Poppystamps: Flower Garden in many colors

and had this panel stamped in yellow ready for a card.

The black trellis is from Altenew's Layered Plaid Cover Die A, and cut 

selectively to look like a trellis. This is was also in my stash.

Poppystamps: Garden Poppy Stitched Frame, is the sweet little frame with

the 2 poppies,

and the large flower and sprig are from Flora & Fauna, called Happy Flowers.

The large flower was black embossed and colored with Polychromos pencils.

The sprig was black stamped, then GAed for shine. 

The other 2 smaller flowers are Poppystamps Little Kindness, also colored with 

pencils. 

Love that sentiment from Flora & Fauna's Happy Flowers!

I didn't do a good joy photographing the Glossy Accents, which I put 

in the centers of each flower.

This photo is a bit better.

The Flower Challenge closes on the 25th. 

Thanks for visiting! Hope your week is off to a crafty start!
