The Flower Challenge #97 - THANKS

Hello friends.  Hard to believe it's November already, isn't it?  I love this season of thankfulness, and how appropriate that here at The Flower Challenge that we're focusing on THANKS and would love to see thank you cards with FLOWERS of course!

I have a pretty simple card using Gina K's Thoughtful Flowers stamp, stencil & die set and vibrant Fall colors.  


I stamped, stenciled & die cut 2 of the floral swags and then set them aside while I worked on the background.  A little hard to see as my florals and sentiment covered up quite a bit of the double circle opening, but I added a piece of Crushed Curry cs that I die cut into a smaller circle to add behind the background panel that had a larger circle opening.  The background panel was also embossed with SU!'s Subtle embossing folder (RETIRED...why I don't know as it's one of my favorite ef's!!).


  I attached my background panel to a white card base and then added the 2 floral swags.  My sentiment was die cut from PTI's Counting My Blessings die collection, once in white and once in Crushed Curry cs, and then off set before attaching with foam tape for a bit of dimension.  I finished with a few of my favorite Disco Ball Sequins from Gina K.

The DT has some awesome inspiration for you that you can find right HERE, so check it out and then play along with us!  This challenge is open till Monday, Nov. 25th @ 5:00PM.  We hope to see YOU in the gallery!!

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

WOW! These flowers are gorgeous, Marcia! And I love the golden circle and shadow with the sentiment! What a beautiful way to be thankful!

Oooh, I love these flowers in a rainbow of color. I can see the gold ring peeking out from behind. The gold offset sentiment just adds to the richness of the gold and the beauty of the design.

Ohhh, those beautiful colors! So wonderful to see your flowers this time of year. Your card is so very striking with the contrast of color on white. I think I might wear out my Subtle embossing folder. You captured it's beauty perfectly in your second photo. Love everything about this gorgeous card, Marcia!

AMAZING colouring of these beautiful blooms, Marcia. LOVE your design with the framed circle with flowers surrounding it. Adding the yellow layer behind the white die-cut thanks really gives it presence and ties it into the frame of the circle. A fabulous design, my friend! xx

Marcia, you've created a really beautiful card with an unexpected background element. It almost looks like a wreath with the flowers flowing across the top and bottom. The flowers look fab in those bright colors and I adore the font of the big sentiment! Totally gorgeous!
