Color Throwdown #821

Whenever a color challenge includes green, you can be pretty sure I'm going to do a floral card.  Such is the case for this week's Color Throwdown.

The flowers are from Altenew's Lush Garden layering stamp set, colored with Altenew inks.  The stitched background is from Honey Bee and the sentiment is a Betterpress from Spellbinders. 

I'm so glad you dropped by.  If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope your holiday weekend gave you a chance to be with family.

The Flower Challenge #96

It's October already and time for the next The Flower Challenge.  With the plethora of stencils in blogland this should be a full gallery.

The embossing folder that I stenciled is from Altenew's Lush Garden bundle.  I trimmed it down and added a lavender border before putting it on the card base.  I didn't want to hide any of its beauty by adding a sentiment.  

I hope you'll check out what the Design Team has made to inspire you to make a card for our challenge.  We'd love to see your card(s).

Altenew Inspiration Challenge - July 2024

I haven't play at the Altenew Inspiration Challenge for a while.  Since we had a rather overcast dreary day yesterday I decided to make it a priority.  Here is Tenia's inspiration.

And my card.

I've had the Craft-Your-Life Lush Garden set for a while and thought it would work well with the colors.  This set has layering stamps, dies, an embossing folder and stencils.  I didn't realize when I ordered it that one stencil colors just the background of the stamped images and the other three color the embossing folder.  Three of the Red Cosmos inks were used for the pink flower and two of the Warm and Cozy for the orange one.  They are layered on the panel embossed with the Lush Garden folder. 

Since I stamped the flowers on opposite ends of the cardstock, I ended up with flowers for another card.

The foiled dotted frame was in my Bits Box.  I masked the edge to color inside the frame with Frayed Leaf before popping up the flowers. 

I'm so glad you dropped by.  Have a great day!
