Pansies For Your Birthday.

Hello everyone: As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

***************************************************

I'm back after a short absence to take care of some family issues, and I'm eager to resume my DT duties on this fun and amazing challenge.

Here's the prompt for THE FLOWER CHALLENGE #68, so, I hope to see you in our gallery. 

The numbers are not glued yet, I die cut a bunch of numbers and put them in a box and pull out two randomly, I figured I can always glue the numbers when I'm asked for a card when someone is having a birthday.

 

This is the card I created to inspire you to play along.

*********************************************

This is the inside.

And this is what I used.

Flourishes "A Year in Flowers" Pansies (2010)

Power Poppy "Dynamic Duos: Peonies and Tulips" (2014) for the sentiment in front.

Power Poppy "In Praise of Sunflowers" (2016) for the sentiment inside.

Thank you for visiting me today and for your comments, they always make my day.

Please stop by THE FLOWER CHALLENGE for more inspiration from my fabulous teammates and I hope to see you in our gallery.

A Slim Card for The Flower Challenge #59.

 Hello Everyone: I'm always hoping you and your families are doing well, staying healthy and safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think this is the second Slimline card I've made in a while, I really enjoyed creating it, I think they look very sweet and elegant too.

Here's my card.

********************************************************

This is the inside.

******************************************************

And this is what I used.

 Slim Stitched Scalloped Circles Die, from 

Pink Fresh.

All the flowers on this card are from the retired Stampin' Up! 

"Botanical Blooms" die set.

The DSP is from my stash.

I used watercolors from Kuretake Gamsai Tambi for the flowers.

The sentiment inside is from Dynamic Duos, Peonies, and Tulips

from Power Poppy.

I left the inside with no sentiment to use this card for any occasion.

I realized I don't use my dies enough, even if I have a really nice

collection and that is a shame.

I hope you can join my teammates and I over at The Flower Challenge

and play along with this fun challenge.

Till next time, stay healthy and safe.

XO
