Just Us GIrls #811 - Mood Board Week

Lisa is the host for mood board week at Just Us Girls and she has a wonderful photo to inspire your card for this week's challenge.

Doesn't that look luscious?  What sparks your imagination?  I did a mix-up.

I took the cup and put the flowers in it. 😁  The Greetery geraniums were cut from SB blush and inked in the center with Kitsch Flamingo DI. They were arranged along with leaves cut from a green scrap in a mug from Memory Box cut from Pink Sand, also from SB. The embossed background is the Blossom Field folder from SSS and the sentiment is a BetterPress.  

There is inspiration abound from the Design Team and our guest designer Denise Morgans from The Crafty Den.  I hope you check them out and make a card based on the photo.

The Flower Challenge #93

This month's The Flower Challenge should be the easiest one ever.  

That's right.  All you have to do is make a birthday card featuring flowers.  Here's mine.

The geraniums are from The Greetery, colored with Altenew (Pink Pearl and Coral Bliss) and Distress Inks (Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness).  They are potted in a barrel colored with Scorched Timber DI.  The background is from The Stamp Market, stamped in CP Twilight ink as is the sentiment from Hero Arts.

There is plenty of inspiration for you over on The Flower Challenge blog.  The Design Team has done wonders with their birthday cards.

The Flower Challenge #74

There's a new challenge at The Flower Challenge and we want to see embellishements on your cards.

I'm not one to use many embellishments but this pulled me out of that rut and I even bought some new ones to use. 

When I met with Michele in September, Marcia was supposed to join us and I asked her to bring her geraniums from The Greetery.  When she couldn't make it, she graciously sent me the die cuts and I decided to use them for this challenge.  All the cuts were colored with Catherine Pooler inks.  I played around with the arrangement and decided it would look good as a hanging plant so added the chains from Poppystamps.  I lightly inked the background with Tumbled Glass DI and added the raindrops from my stash. 

The Design Team has made beautiful cards with a variety of embellishments to inspire you.  I hope you'll take a look and join the challenge.  Just remember to keep the focus on the flowers.
