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

Sending Blessings


Happy Sunday, all!
Part 2 with the new Leaves All Around stencil and die set from the Greetery's 
newest release. This time with dimension, and the Jumbo moth.


I love the framing of any element, especially a sentiment. And this beautiful die
does it perfectly. I tried to mute my citrus colors, but it just wasn't happening.
 Kept going brighter and brighter, and then defined the leaves and blooms with pencil, 
for even more color.


I go where the card leads me. Sometimes, it's an idea that comes alive just as I planned.
Truly, most of the time it's an evolved effort!


Loving this release. It's brought such joy to a busy, stressed summer!


My moth used both wing dies, and like I said went from a pale guy to this 
bright showoff.


Hard to see, but the embossed copper sentiment is on a piece of vellum. Such a 
sweet script, rather animated like the fluttering moth!

I know of so many that could use a blessing right now. May have to do 
a few of these cards!

Enjoy your Sunday!

A Quartet of Pine Blossom


Hi and Happy New Year! 
Well, the New Year is off to a happy start. Saturday was one of those days
with no one around, quiet and chores free. Way too good a day to waste!
The holidays came and went so fast, I hadn't used the Greetery's Pine Blossom
at all, and there it was right on the top of my order.


I die cut and stamped the bouquet and flowers in several colors.
I hadn't used the Berry Branch Stencil either. 1st inked, then played with
stencil paste in a couple of colors.


My stash of birthday cards is low, so all 4 cards were done for winter birthdays.


My outdoor garden is sleeping right now. It's down to freezing where I live,
but on this card it's bright and happy.


I just love the new bow Betsy created. So open and animated!


And finally one with my favorite greeting, blessings.

Nothing better than a crafty weekend!

Here's a list of what I used: All Greetery
Pine Blossom stamp set and dies
Fit to be Tied die
Inside Out Berry Branch die
Berry Branch stencil
Terrarium die
Knit Wits stencil
Nordic Frames die
