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 #92 - Use Our Sketch

The Flower Challenge 2 #86 Black, White and Yellow

 

Hi Flower fans! If you love to use your flower stamps and dies, the Flower

Challenge is for you!

I used flowers from The Greetery's Wildwood Collection, stamped in yellows.  Opposites

Attract provided my birthday sentiment, and all mounted on a twice cut Cathedral Die.

Hope to see what you do with these colors for the month of November.

Remember, challenge   ends Nov. 25th.

Yana gives a great tutorial on how to make a die cut look like iron.

Her graphic bg is gorgeous, and I just had to try her technique.

Large leaf is die cut into the bg.

Leaf Silhouettes dies,

Banner Sentiments

My mix to look like iron: Silver, Skyline Grey WOW Puff ep, Stampendous: Peridot

Sending Birthday Wishes

It's time for a new challenge at the Card Concept.

A wonderful contemporary room is our inspiration.

I used it to make my Clean and Graphic card.

The black and white chairs, with their strong graphic presence inspired 

this background.

PTI: Grand Finale (bg), and Painted Petals (flower and sentiment)

Play along for 2 weeks, and don't forget the 6 card styles.

This card by Laurie Schmidlin, hi lighting a new set

this month, Ivy & Bloom, caught my eye. To be truthful, every card

has elements that are standouts, and I love to file away all the 

clever details each month. But take another look at Laurie's card.

Pale grey on a white bg, window with sentiment inside, colorful accents, 

wreath like frame with floral accents, and color combo,

That's what I cased.

My card was built on the Garden Garland die, cut from Soft Stone card stock.

All those pretty posies are also from the die set.

The window is cut from the smaller die from Fun Frames.

Sentiment: Lovely Lace.

Berry Sprigs: Beautiful Berries: Spring

Laurie backed her top window with foam, lifting it up, (which I wish I had done.)

Black dots complete the card. 

Laurie's colors were something I just had to duplicate.

Loved this combination, and intend to use it again.
