BLUE FLOWERS

I was playing around with some blue flowers today and decided to use the same design for the basic background as I did for my previous card - makes life easy not thinking up new stuff all the time!

The flowers are from The Greetery - Sunflower Botanicuts and I used leaves from Spellbinders Blooms.  The background is from SSS - Vine Canopy; frame MFT Stitched Frame; and enamel dots Hero Arts.  Will add a sentiment when the time comes to send to someone special.

 

YELLOW FLOWERS

For some reason, I don't enter many of the challenges that I always joined for so many years.  But today I came across Color Hues Challenge and Bonnie had suggested yellow and green.  Yellow is not one one of my "go to" colors (I very rarely wear yellow either).  So I created a card this afternoon in yellow and green!!

I began with SSS Vine Canopy embossing folder.  Then used an old stitched rectangle die with foam tape to lift it up at bit.  The flowers and leaves are from Altenew's Houseplants set and the sentiment is no longer available.  I used fossilized amber distress oxide to give the flowers a little depth and added yellow enamel dots from Hero Arts.  I used Altenew's Reindeer Moss cardstock for the leaves - it's my favorite "go to" green!

PRETTY PINK PLANT

Wouldn't it be lovely to have this pretty plant sitting on your patio?   Fortunately tho, it can sit on your mantle or a table.  I created my card today for the current TicTacToe Challenge with the prompts flowers, layers and foliage.

Altenew's houseplants dies and their brick wall embossing folder were used on my card.  Shading was done with distress oxides for some depth.  As you can see it's a gate fold card.

Our challenge ends on 17 July so hope to see your card(s) there in the next few weeks.

HOUSEPLANTS

I am the designer of the board for this go around of TicTacToe Challenge #272.  I went down the middle with layers, free and floral/foliage.  I think everything except bee/butterfly is in my card also!

I used my new (to me) Houseplants dies from Altenew and also their blue cardstock for the flowers.  The background is some patterned paper I've had for ages.

Hope to see a card from you in our challenge!

BASKET OF FLOWERS

I created this card for my card class to make this week but it was inspired by the "inspired By..." challenge.  The challenge photo is a basket of flowers.

The little flowers and the embossed background are from Spellbinders.  When I create a card for the class, I have everything pretty much prepped for them ahead of time.  For this class, I had several die sets that all had little flowers and also had some dies that would cut the little yellow centers.  So all the die cutting didn't take that long.  I cut out extra flowers so they could add as many to their bouquet as they wish - or put them anywhere on the card.  Also have many different sentiments from which they may choose.  Used up a lot of my scrap colors for the flowers which is a good thing!!
