The Flower Challenge #14 Reminder

Hi everyone, I am back today to share my Reminder card for 'The Flower Challenge'. Our theme is CAS this month or 'Clean and Simple'.   So minimal layers/embellishments and lots of 'white' space.   So many amazing floral cards entered our challenge already. Do check them out and also my talented teamies cards there too.   A very big welcome to all my latest followers too, welcome aboard and thank you for following me ;)     Anyway without further ado here is my card....      

   White Linen card TH Water colour card Foamiran for the flowers Flower die ?  TH Distress ink Hero Arts Infinity dies 'Postage stamps'  Poppy Stamps 'Lovely Tendril' die Neat & Tangled Clear Sequins Twinklets Diamond dust    

  I made an A6 tent fold card and added a card panel  using my die on the edge part. I made a couple of  foamiran flowers using a flower die.    Sorry I have made so many now I didn't make a  note of which die I used. I added my flowers to  the card base and did a watery colour wash behind  them.    After adding a leaf tendril I sprinkled a few clear  sequins and added those too. A few dabs of glue  and a smattering of diamond dust and my card  was finished.    

  Here is our cue card below, please add it if you enter our challenge ;)  

Yellow and peach flowers card

Hi friends, a very quick post today. I have another 'Less is More' card to show you.The theme this week is 'Handmade flowers'.    I made some yellow and peach flowers on this card. PP  sentiment and a few swirls and Spellbinders ovals and  job done. The oval sentiment is centred although doesn't  look it here because of the angle.I made this one a while ago, hope it's not too busy for LIM.My mojo has gone atm. I fear.

Hand made Flowers"

  Luckily I am really into making my own flowers and I came up with  this idea . Hope you like it, quite pleased myself for a  change too lol. Have a great weekend whatever you have planned. ps. My son had his usual bike ride around the coast he does  every year. It's 250 miles over 3 days, he really enjoys it,yet   another rider joined  him this time. He still has trouble finding   people who can keep up  with him .............well I won't be  volunteering that's for certain lol  :)  

I used various punches and distress inks to colour them mostly. Challenges 'Less is More'  #129  Handmade flowers 'Totallypapercrafts'  #176  'Make your own flowers'

Pink and black keys card

Good afternoon fellow crafters/bloggers/friends . I hope all is well  in your world today . I have a pink , black and white card to  show you today. I love that colour combo, I hope you like it too. Quick tip below!!! I wanted some bakers twine for this card and don't have any so.... here is quick tip for anyone who doesn't know. I cut a length of white twine, then I wrapped it around a ruler ( cover it with tape first maybe).  I used a pink Promarker I  had used on the card image and drew stripes  along the string horizontally. I dried that with my heat gun then I was  able to add it to my card....job done ! ps. Thankyou to all who asked, our family party went  very well on  Sunday . A great time had by all :)...now I am trying  to rest a bit more lol.Poor  Alex and Charlie both have colds though now....poor babies !

Yellow flowers card

Good morning everyone, hope you are well and enjoying this fabulous weather. Summer has arrived at long last! Just had a lovely swim ( we have an above ground outside  swimming pool) , managed to get it cleaned and sorted at last. Not an easy job, hoovering/adding chemicals etc. but we got  there in the end. We are expecting our youngest son and family  for a swim later and a bbq :) Just got time to add this card with the yellow flowers on I added a tutorial for yesterday. Then I am off to make scones for afternoon tea and more swimming again. I think  these flowers look far better on a card than they did just by  themselves do you agree?? Have a good weekend everyone  whatever you are planning :)
