Hello everyone: As always, I hope and pray you and your families are doing well, taking care of each other and staying healthy and safe.
**********************************************************
Well, finally October is here and Autumn has started, this is my most favorite time of the year, mainly because of the glorious colors and cooler temperatures, it's as if Mother Nature is gifting us with one last color blast before Winter arrives.
THE FLOWER CHALLENGE has a new challenge for you to play in October, here's our banner with the theme, which is "Shaped Cards", we hope you help us celebrate our 5th. Birthday, from someone who's been here from the start, I hope for many more years with this wonderful team of talented and fabulous ladies.
This is the card I created to inspire you to play along.
*******************************************
This is the inside.
And this is what I used:
The rose image was purchased on Ebay.
The sentiment on the front of the card is from a Power Poppy set called "Dynamic Duos: Foxglove and Ranunculus", at the moment it's sold out.
The sentiment on the inside is from an Altenew set called "Beautiful Day
I stamped the rose on a separate piece of pink card stock with "Spun Sugar" from Tim Holtz, and colored it with Prismacolor pencils, paper stumps and Gamsol.
I fussy cut it and used glue dots to place it on the steam that I had stamped on the scalloped panel. The leaves are from the same Altenew set.
The die I used is from Spellbinders, the scalloped one is from Kaisercraft and it's called "Nesting Scalloped Stitched Ovals".
So I hope you come and join the fun and celebrate with us our 5th. Birthday.

Beautiful card Maria and I love the shape with the die cutting. Gorgeous job!
You have so many wonderful die cut frames, Maria, and you know how to use them to make fablous cards. The rose is beautiful.
What a beautiful oval card, Maria! The delicate border in red looks stunning and I also love that you stamped the stem directly on the oval panel and added the rose and the leaves to it! Great idea!
