I felt compelled to make a birthday card since they are celebrating a birthday, and used the Wildwood stamp set from The Greetery that came out last month and I hadn't had a chance to use it yet. Using Fall colors, here's what I came up with...
I started with a PFS coverplate die (Dotted Chevron) for my background and then got to work stamping and die cutting all my flowers and leaves using mostly C&9th inks except for the leaves where I used SU!'s Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent. After arranging everything, I glued and added foam tape, and then finished with a Gina K sentiment (So Many Sentiments) that was embossed in gold on a black strip and also added a few gold metallic pearls (PFS).
Happy, Happy Birthday to The Flower Challenge and all their many talented designers...past and present! I have loved this challenge right from the get go, and look forward to playing every month! A BIG THANK YOU to Viv & Aileen for all their hard work over the years and a BIG WELCOME to Karren who will be taking over the challenge next month (you can read more about this on their site)! This birthday celebration challenge will run till the 25th of this month and you can check out all the FABULOUS inspiration right HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

ReplyDeleteIt seems like this challenge just started. My, how time flies! Beautiful flowers here with the fall colors and I love how the background adds just a little something without taking the interest from the flowers! Great job, my friend!
