Celebrate

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's the end of an era at The Flower Challenge.  Viv and Aileen are stepping down and
their inspiration will be missed.  Thankfully Karren is stepping in as administrator
so the challenge will continue.

It's also their 7th Birthday.  That's something to celebrate!


My much loved Alstroemeria die and embossing folder has come out to play again.

After die cutting and embossing the flower, I colored with Simon Says 
Pawsitively Saturated ink.

I gently Daubed ink over the raised embossed images then placed the flower 
on top.  A die cut sentiment finishes it up.

Challenges:
The Flower Challenge - #85: Anything Goes with flowers





Card Recipe 
Stamps:  
Ink:   Peachy, Sherbet, Pearfection, Field (SSS PSI), Calypso Coral (SU)
Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Gold Foil
Other:  Alstroemeria Bunch EF & Die (SS), Small Blending Brush, Sweet Sentiments Die (Alt), White Gel Pen

Enjoy!

    This is very pretty with the embossed background and the die cut flower and leaves over the top Bonnie, and I love the orange colour, and some soft emphasis of the embossing in the background with the added gold die cut sentiment works well...a beautiful card. x

    What Michele said. lol I love that die and embossing folder more every time you use it, Bonnie but alas have never gotten it. I do have one more set that you sent me. I love the soft coloring on the folder as a background for the beautiful flower. Thanks for celebrating with us at The Flower Challenge.

    That is the perfect colour for Alstroemeria! I grew some exactly that shade! Love the soft colouring on the embossing folder and then the brighter colouring on the die cut flower.

    Beautiful card, Bonnie. LOVE the colour of your Alstomeria die ... gorgeous shade of deep orange and it has a shimmer to it in the photo. Gorgeous! Love it over the softly colour Alstromeria background. Love every card you've made using these. Love, Lolly
