Potpourri Flowers

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

We took a short trip to visit family and I'm slow getting back into the studio.
I actually started this card before we left and I've finally finished it.


I love the colors at The Flower Challenge this month and the die with all these flowers
has been languishing in the NBUS box for way too long.  Using all these colors made coloring 
all the flowers fun.

The flowers were cut from mixed media paper and some from Neenah Solar White.
I think I used a combination of ink blending and water to color them.

The frame is new and came just before we left.  I've cut it twice and stacked, then
mounted it with dimensional strips.



Challenges:
The Flower Challenge #94 - Be Inspired by the Colors (below)
NBUS #65 - Never Before Used Schtuff (Flowers, Leaves & Frame)

 

I'll leave you with a photo of all the gang we got to spend the day with and
the beautiful scenery.

Wonderful flowers on your card with the pretty pink background and great frame. I'm so glad you got to go to be with the family. Looks like everyone could come. All those littles and even a baby. How Blessed you are.

Such a lovely blooming card, Bonnie! I love the colors you chose from our graphic to color these darling flowers - they all work so well with your pretty pink debossed base. I'll bet your heart was full after that trip - could it have inspired your sentiment today?
Thanks for sharing it with us at The Flower Challenge, Bonnie!

I love this pretty card with the beautiful ornate frame as the backing for the wonderful die cut and coloured flowers and the diamond cover plate and the notched shape behind and the diamond cover plate make a fabulous background Bonnie. Glad you got to visit with your family..it must have taken a lot of working out to get everyone together for this, and in gorgeous surroundings too. x

Your card is just pretty and perfect, Bonnie! Those sweet flowers and colors work so well together. I love to see a summer family get together like yours, and in such a pretty setting. It must have been lovely. I'm going to have a nice visit here today, and I'll swoon over everything I see. Wish I could comment on all, but I know you understand. Hugs!
