Sending You Hugs

Hello friends! The Card Concept's new challenge is this gorgeous

inspiration photo:

Are you as 'wowed' as I am? So many directions and styles you could choose.

Contrast of the red bloom against shimmering white satin drape was my starting point.

I selected Altenew's Build a Flower: Aster and Aster die, and stamped

the red Bold Bloom.

Lots of drama and and a sentiment banner to mimic the photo.

Here's the link to get you started, and to see the rest of the DT's inspiration:

The Card Concept #92 {Bold Bloom}

PTI's Banner and sentiment

Background is a stencil from PTI's Make It Market: Garden Gate

Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste (Gold and Silver)

A few sequins from my stash.

I'd say it falls under the category of Classy and Elegant.

Our challenge is for 2 weeks, and you can choose from the styles listed

on the Card Concepts's blog, or combine a few of them.

Happy Crafting! Hope to see your creation in the challenge lineup!

The Card Concept: Freshly Brewed

Every other Wednesday means it's time for a new challenge at the Card Concept,

where you get to choose the style for your card.

So much inspired me from the photo. 

Freshly Brewed is the title.

So much to choose from the inspiration photo. What inspires you?

Can't wait to see!

These gorgeous tulips! 

Peeking through the snowdrifts, they remind Spring is coming!

Also the shadow play of sunlight.
