The Flower Challenge #85 Anything Goes & 7th Birthday

This month will be my last DT challenge over at 'The Flower Challenge', after seven glorious years...(sighs)! It's a very sad time for me personally as it's almost like my baby :)...BUT as it's also our 7th birthday too  I choose to make it a final fun challenge to finish with ;)
This month our challenge for October is 'Anything Goes' with flowers as the main image of course...easy peasy!
Our fabulous Guest Designer is once again the very talented Emily Midgett! We love having Emily as our GD and she was also here for our birthday last year too. Please see her amazing card on our blog and all the rest of the fabulous cards made by our DT too.
We have a few of our older  (not in years) Guest Designers joining us this month also. A few new team members also, see our blog to check them out!
I thank Aileen for asking me to join the team at the very start,...even though it was just to make a header......and then do the graphics ......and then to run the whole challenge lol ! Thank you Aileen it has indeed been a real blast and I will miss you and all the  girls more than you know. Aileen is of course also leaving the challenge this month too and I wish her all the best for the future!

I will still be making cards etc. just maybe a few different cards and not the usual flower ones all the time..... and maybe also some clay jewellery too, felting ....who knows !...plus some things made by my OH :)
So come and have a peek at my cards and lets make our last challenge a real corker:)
For my main card I just had to use some of my favourite colour PINK again. In fact I found an older card I had made previously and decided I would make a similar one as I liked it so much. Hope you like it too ;)
For my second card I kept it very pastel looking, also experimenting with embossing on a patterned digi printed card. Sorry it's very pale and hard to see here. Then I  added water colour lightly on none water colour  card....very nervously!
I like the subtle look to it I think, the white embossing is brighter in real life also btw.
Sorry for the long post and well done if you stuck with me !... and of course.....enjoy your week whatever you have planned :)


It's our 7th Birthday!!
