Floral Focus for Fall

Hi there.  I'm glad you stopped to visit.

I finally got to work with this fantastic MFT stamp and die.

 

First up is a card I did using the MFT Color Challenge 

 
I used Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango for the flowers and mixed
Sahara Sand and Granny Apple Green for the leaves.

This is a large image so I used the die to cut it then cut it apart to get
two images.

For the base card, I've used Natural cardstock and for the strips Primitive White.

Then I put it all together using the MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge.


And a twofer....


The other part of the image fit in a circle aperture quite well for 

They are celebrating their 4th Birthday!

Congratulations and wishes for many more birthdays!

   

Since this is the first outing for this stamp and die, I'll hop over to 




Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Both cards are absolutely beautiful Bonnie. What a beautiful stamp and the most eye catching designs on both of your amazing cards x.

A bit of wonderfully creative cutting of these prettily coloured flowers to make a second card with this beautiful image Bonnie. I adore the colours you have chosen and the first following the sketch with the natural and white cardstock, and then the second with the circular aperture and the black card framing it and both with black sentiments and pretty gems, both work beautifully. x

Becca Cruger said...

Both of these designs are just elegance incarnate. I love that soft taupe of your first design mixed with the lovely pink.
