The Flower Challenge #97 - Reminder

Hello friends.  Just a friendly reminder that there's still time to play along with us at The Flower Challenge this month and we're looking for THANK YOU cards with florals of course!

I am still quite hooked on Betterpress/Impression Plates and have a thank you card featuring PFS's Splendid Florals impression plate, stencils, & die.  

 I so wish you could see the letterpress look (deep impression) you get when using these plates and cotton cardstock that the camera just does not pick up on!  I get almost giddy when I run my fingers over the deep impression!  I used black letterpress ink on the image and then used the stencils to color in the leaves (one stencil) and then the flowers were stenciled using red, orange & yellow Gina K inks with the 2nd stencil.  

There is a coordinating die that cuts out the center of the image that leaves a perfect spot for the sentiment.  (A SU! thank you that is from 2002 and on a wood block...definitely an oldie but one I really, really like!!)  I attached my image to a white card base and then stamped my sentiment in the opening.  A few Butterscotch Glitter Drops (PFS) and some white bakers twine finished off my thank you card.

We have more wonderful inspiration from the DT for you that you can find right HERE, so check it out and play along with us.  This would be a great time to get a few thank you's made up ahead of time for those Christmas gifts you'll receive!!  This challenge is open till Monday, Nov. 25th @ 5:00PM.   

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
