The Flower Challenge #36 Reminder

Hi there, I am back with reminder cards for 'The Flower Challenge'. It's 'Anything Goes' this month and MFT are our sponsors with prizes for TWO of our winners this month. MFT also kindly offered our team stamps too.

Once I had made my card I saw these pretty flower stamps and the frame dies. Just had to have them of course and decided to make another extra card to share ;)

The talented Michele Ferguson is our Guest Designer (do check out her amazing blog if you haven't already), she has made another beautiful card for your inspiration again....do try and take part, you may even win a prize ;)

Visit our blog and see all the fabulous entries already there, so many cards for your inspiration! See my teamies cards there too as they are all so very talented ;)

Okay so here are my cards below, come and have a peek and of course enjoy your week whatever you have planned ;)

Smooth White card
Watercolour card
White foam card
MFT Beautiful Bloom stamp
MFT Die-namics dieThanks sentiment
TH Distress inks
Altenew Clear Embossing ink
Wow E/P Magenta Twinkle
N&T sequins

I first made my top fold card base then cut a topper from watercolour card. I stamped and embossed my large flower and then watercoloured it all. I used the same colours for the background adding splashes of water as I did it.

Then I cut my sentiment from the centre of the flower and a layer of white foam also. I glued my sentiment layers together and attached them to where I had first cut my sentiment. A sprinkling of sequins and my card was complete.

Wild Flowers card

Smooth White card

Inspire Me vellum

MFT Flower Silouettes stamps

Sentiment stamp from another MFT set

MFT A2 Rectangle Frames die

N&T Stencil Rice Paddies 

Versafine Onyx Black ink & Smokey Grey ink

Hero Arts Mint Julep ink

Little Things sequins

3d pads

I made my A6 card base as usual, then using my stencil I blended my ink onto my card base.

Then I stamped two of my flowers in the grey ink and then over the top used three more flowers and stamping in black. I cut my frame and stamped two more flowers in black on it over a spare bit of card.

I just wanted the edges of the flowers this time on the frame so discarded the rest. I matched up the frame to my previously stamped flowers on the card and used 3d pads to raise it up a little on the card.

The sentiment was stamped onto a spare piece of vellum and attached to my card cutting a fish tail edge for interest. A few matching sequins and my card was complete.

 We do hope you will take part, you have until the 25th September to join in. See our rules also so you don't miss out on winning prizes this time too! Here is our cue card below, please add it when entering our challenge.

   

Toad-ally Awesome card

Hi there friends, I am back with my usual card for the 'Less is More' challenge again. This time it's a recipe and 'Take 3',.... e.g. take 3 words or 3 images or 3 colours, or 3 patterns (something where you have 3 of an item).

 

I decided to use this cute frog, my three things are.... the frog, the hearts and the sentiment, or the 3 hearts or the 3 colours ...green, pink and black ( if you are calling black a colour which I am lol). Anyway lots of three's there I think!

 

Wow......shock horror!...no flowers and no water colouring either...must be a first from me for a while lol.

It's very very windy here this weekend but no rain today for a change, hope you have good weather wherever in the world you are.Of course, enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned.

I am being treated to lunch in a very old pub I just love tomorrow for an early Mother's Day treat ;) I am baking again today too, as we speak I have some lemon, raspberry and white chocolate muffins in my oven. I am hoping not to set the smoke alarm off this time though!.....baking and writing blog posts at the same time don't go well together I am finding ;)

Anyway come and have a peek at my card and I hope my cute frog jumping for joy makes you smile too.....

This is so sparkly irl....hard to see here though.  

I made an A6 side fold card base then stamped my flower images straight to the card.

I used Linen card to give it a bit of texture too. 

I cut my Hello sentiment using two layers of white card and silver card and glued them together. I then attched the sentiment to my card and added a few sequins and my card was complete.
