The Flower Challenge #65

This month's challenge at The Flower Challenge is an easy one. 

Everyone has occasion stamps and as long as a flower is the focal point on your card and you've included a sentiment stating that occasion, you're good.  I decided to make an anniversary card.


I HAD to have this stamp set from The Greetery because I thought the flowers were so cute and then wasn't real happy with it the first time out.  I decided to give it another try and I'm loving it now.  The problem was with ink choices.  I thought the colors of the flower petals had too much contrast.  I used Altenew inks for  stamping out three flowers. (Just so you know, I make a copy of the flower and note the colors I use to keep with the stamp set.) They are placed on a background from my Bits box with the sentiment from PTI that I cut around by hand. 

Our guest designer this month is Trina P and she and the Designt Team have wonderful cards to inspire you. I hope we see your card in our gallery.
