The Flower Challenge #99 - Feature the Color PINK

Hello friends.  Welcome back to the Flower Challenge...seems like quite awhile since we've played together, hasn't it?!!  We are all excited to be back and showing our beautiful FLORAL cards, and this month of February we are looking to Feature the Color PINK!

I have a very CAS card to share with you using a sketch from the talented Jill Foster of Penny Black fame, and a stamp/stencil combo from PFS's called Delicate Rosebuds.  Take a look...


I started by stenciling the rose bud and greenery, and then used the coordinating die to cut it out.  Next I die cut one of Penny Blacks classy frames from white, and then ink blended a bit of light pink onto the inner piece of the frame before setting it back into the outer frame.  I added both to a piece of white card that I used an Altenew EF (Organic Linen 3D) on, and then added all to the card base.  I did use a thin strip of white card to separate the embossed layer from the card base, and this gave me just enough room to add my sentiment (also from the Delicate Rosebuds stamp set). 


I did add a few silver gems (PFS) to the upper right side of my card for a little added bling and then called it complete.  Very CAS and I love the way it came out!

We have lots of wonderful inspiration from the DT to get you started and you can find it all right HERE .  You can use light pink like I did, or go dark pink or any shade in between on your card...just don't forget the FLORAL!   This challenge is open till Tuesday, Feb. 25th @ 5:00PM
 

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

Who needs a bouquet when you have the single most wonderful rosebud? Marcia, I love how you incorporated Jill's Sketch here - and that sentiment? I'm wishing that right back to you, my friend!

This is so pretty, Marcia! The textured background taking up just a portion of real estate adds a simple elegance to this very lovely card.

Ohhhh, look how gorgeous this is! An absolutely fabulous use of this sketch. I just love all the white with the delicate pink and green. Everything you used works so beautifully together. It looks like you did some delicate and clever snipping of this flower as it has taken on a whole new look. Why have I not used this in so long? Too many stamps and dies still waiting for a first time use, tsk tsk. Thank you for such beautiful inspiration, Marcia!

The first thing that popped into my mind when seeing your card, Marcia, was dainty. That little bud is so pretty and you've done Jill's sketch proud lol! A beautiful CAS way to showcase that lovely flower. So sweet!

This is so classy and gorgeous, Marcia. It is beautifully deigned and colored. I LOVE that EF. Love the strip separating the embossed from the un-embossed. The sentiment is so, so wonderful.

You found a wonderful spot to show off that lovely pink rose, Marcia. All the details on your card pulled together in such a beautiful way.
