The Flower Challenge June: Use Our Sketch

 

The Flower Challenge is back for June with a new challenge for you.

Use Our Sketch is the theme.

Here's some inspiration for you

I used some fabulous dies from The Greetry's Urban Jungle collection

for a birthday card. 

As we're approaching summer, I chose hibiscus as my theme flower. 

Hope you chose your favorite flower and play along!

The Flower Challenge #87 Use Gold

 

Perfect timing to Use Gold at the Flower Challenge!

Happy Holidays crafters, and welcome to a new card challenge at TFC,

featuring a favorite flower on a card.

My card to inspire you features the magnolia wreath from The Greetery, 

die cut twice: once from green, and once again from a striped paper.

The green started it's life plain and dull. I used Tim Holtz mica sprays to 

bring out the shine!

The magnolia is also a new die from The Greetery, but I only used the smallest petal die

for my flower.

Let's see what you do with the challenge to 'Use Gold'. Our challenges are all month,

and end on the 25th. Enjoy, sweet friends! 

Merry Christmas!

Welcome! The Flower  Challenge asks you to create a card  using spots or stripes for

The Flower Challenge #72 Add Sparkle

 

Did someone say 'sparkle?'

Hi and welcome to a new month and a new challenge. Add Sparkle is our theme

at the Flower Challenge.

Sparkle plenty, with this card. The flower is from Altenew's Craft-A-Flower

collection, and is called Carolina Allspice.

I started with a stenciled background, and added Altenew's Polka Dot Leaves,

before layering on my flower. 

The last layer of the flower and leaves are die cut from glitter cardstock. 

In case you're curious, below is an actual Carolina Allspice, apparently 

from a flowering tree.

Gorgeous, isn't it!

Play along all month, and remember to make a flower/flowers the main element

on your card.

You

Hello! Hope you're enjoying summer's end, and are looking forward to cooler

weather. I know I am!

I'm playing along with a couple of challenges, Altenew's August Inspiration Challenge 

and, The Flower Challenge, Use your Favorite Flower.

My favorite flower at the moment is a new plant added to my yard, 

Midnight Rose Hibiscus.

I have seen hibiscus before, but never this size or color. When I brought home the plant

(I bought 3) it was about 2' high and had a couple of bud groupings. 

Honestly, would you ever believe these buds would open into such a 

magnificent bloom? 1st bloom measured 9".

So for today (only today, I'm fickle with favorites!) my favorite flower is the Hibiscus. 

Altenew's  Hibiscus Garden 3D was all cut from white cardstock, and Copic colored. 

I tried to keep as close to my Midnight Rose as possible. The die set comes with the greens

you see pictured here, and the smaller bloom I colored in purples to mimic the 

Allysum planted in the pots with the Hibiscus.

The background started out with an A2 sized card, white, covered with 

Altenew's watercolor washi. I added sprays and white paint droplets, then

cut the card with MFT's Wonky Stitched Rectangle.

'You' from PTI's Bold Borders: Arabesque. I doubled the diecut with gold for a little

glam.

The Hibiscus flower has gorgeous textured veins. I tried to add that look by streaking 

my die cut with the Copic pens.

Altenew asks us, 'how were you inspired by the photo?' 

Just about everything from the photo inspired me! Colors, soft fadeout greens, water

droplets... and May gave us a beautiful watercolor tutorial too!

2 challenges, one card. Love it when that happens!

Have a blessed week!
