Hello friends. Playing along with the June Inspiration Challenge over at Altenew. I absolutely fell in love with the soft yellows in the inspiration photo and had to play along! Also gave me a good excuse to play with my new Majestic Blooms set too! Here's the inspiration photo:
And here's my take on the inspiration photo:
I used Altenew's Buttercream and Warm Sunshine inks and white embossing powder for my flower and then fussy cut it out. The leaves I stamped with Mint Julep and New Leaf inks (PTI) and then fussy cut them out also. I added a strip of striped gray and white DSP and a thin strip of silver glitter paper to the bottom of my card base and then added my flower and leaves. It still looked kind of plain to me, so I added a couple of the open leaf stamps in Smoky Slate ink (SU!), and then my sentiment in black. A few iridescent sequins finished off my card.
There are some absolutely GORGEOUS cards from the DT and players in the gallery, so check them all out right HERE.
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!!

This is a very striking card. The stamps in the background and the die cut flower, are superb with the stripped border on the bottom. This is a great entry for this challenge. Thanks for you kind comment on my entry. Good luck!
I LOVE your card!! Your flowers are so pretty & I really like how you used the Smoky Slate ink to stamp in additional leaves. So pretty! Also, thank you so very much for your sweet words on my blog--very much appreciated! :)
Soooo pretty, love that gorgeous flower, the perfect color! I also love how you left the stamped leaves au natural and then the addition of your die cut leaves. PRETTY!!!
What a beautiful card, Marcia! I love the way you stamped on the background which enhances your beautiful flowers and leaves!
A beautiful card, Marcia! So soft and pretty, just like the inspiration. The stamped leaves in the background really add so much to your colored and die cut flower and leaves. They really pop!
Perfect use of the inspiration, Marcia--stunningly beautiful card!
Such a stunning card! I love how it turned out. Just beautiful!
I see you went shopping at Altenew Marcia. A beautiful card! Love that softly coloured bloom and the subtle grey background you created to showcase it.
So very pretty! Love that grey and yellow combo and you mastered it on how you put it together!
