The Flower Challenge #106 - Sketch

We have a fun sketch for you for The Flower Challenge. 

This card went off to my son and daughter-in-law.  She raises orchids.  These are from Waffle Flower, arranged on a panel that has been cut with a hemstitch die from SB and embossed with SU's Timeworn Type folder.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts. 

The Design Team has some wonderful cards to inspire you.  I hope you'll check them out and then make a card for the challenge.

Inkspirational #312

Hey there.  I'm so glad you dropped by for a visit. 

All white cards are a challenge but they can look stunning when you have the right products to use.  Inkspirational is looking for white on white cards and I took on the challenge.  I'm not sure how stunning my card is but I'm happy with it. 

I knew I wanted to have some embossing for texture and pulled out this Altenew Bamboo that was one of the products I received when I did a guest design spot.  I didn't know when I'd ever use it but decided it would be great with Waffle Flower's orchids.  The panel was trimmed down and popped up before the die cut flowers were added.  My daughter-in-law raises orchids so I thought I'd make this an anniversary card for them using a sentiment from The Greetery stamped in light gray.

Color Hues #46

Color Hues is paying tribute to a friend who recently passed away. Lindsey was part of the team and had chosen the colors for this challenge.  

She was also a member of the Seize the Birthday Design Team so they joined the Color Hues team this week to honor Lindsey's memory.  Gardening and flowers were some of her favorite things so this is what I made to celebrate a life well lived. 

I found blue orchids on the internet and made these with watercolor paper, Distress Inks and a die from WaffleFlower.  The bowl was cut from MFT's smallest dome, covered with Glossy Accents,  and the background embossed with Altenew's Organic Linen folder. 

I know it's hard to lose a friend, even one you never met in person.  That's the way this crafting community is.  My prayers of comfort to all who knew Lindsey and were touched by her in some way.

The Flower Challenge #71

It's time for a new challenge at The Flower Challenge.  

This should be an easy one.  Just include a circle or circles with your flowers.  We have the fabulously talented Therese Calvird as our guest this month.  She and the rest of the team will have lots of inspiration for you on the blog.  Here is mine.

I recently ordered the orchids from WaffleFlower and was anxious to use them.  I cut a circle from aqua paper and then covered the hole with a debossed image from Altenew, leaving a border.  The circle was placed along the edge and the orchids placed across it.  

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope to see your card with flowers and circle in our gallery.
