Hello friends and welcome to a new challenge here at
The Flower Challenge. We have a fun challenge this month using an inspiration photo that we'd like you to use the colors from on your flower cards.
I see lots of oranges, corals & peaches, and then all kinds of shades of turquoise in this photo and here's what I came up with using these colors...
I used a new stencil and die from PFS called
Petal Perfection and ink blended with mostly Gina K inks in the corals and turquoise family. I love the die for these stenciled florals as it doesn't leave a white border around the flowers and leaves like most dies do...it cuts them right to the edge on your inking.
I die cut an oval (Gina K's
ML #9) from my top layer and then lightly stenciled the background using Gina K's
Brick Wall stencil with residual ink left on my orange/coral blending brush. I attached this layer to a top folding white card base and then arranged my stenciled blooms in the oval cut out. My sentiment strip was embossed in white on black using Gina K's
All At Once Greetings stamps and dies. Pretty simple, but I love the way it turned out!
The DT has some gorgeous cards to share with you and inspire you to use these challenge colors, and you can find them all right

Friday, July 25th @ 5:00PM. We can't wait to see YOU in the gallery!!

I love these colors and, ohhh, what pretty flowers! The softly stenciled brink wall with oval is the ideal frame for them. I hope you're having a nice fourth of July. I think I'll be out watering the garden today.
Marcia, this is so beautiful! I love seeing the hues of colors through your eyes!

I am loving these flowers, Marcia! They work beautifully in these colors!
Marcia, this is really pretty; I too love the lack of white border! Gorgeous, Friend!
This is so very pretty in these colors! I like the soft colored brick wall for the background and the flowers popping through the oval. Love those gorgeous flowers!! Hope you had a happy 4th!
Your lightly stenciled brick wall with the oval cut out makes a perfect spot to place your lovely colored flowers.
This is a pretty way to send birthday wishes! Wonderful layers, Marcia!
Beautiful use of the colors, Marcia.
Marcia I've been trying to get my crafty mitts on this fantastic set and can't get hold of it anywhere so was delighted to see it here. I love the colouring on these beauties you really bring those flowers to life and it makes me more determined to this set.

This is gorgeous, Marcia. I love the colors you used, and I also love that the dies cut right to the edge. What a wonderful effect. Love te soft brick background too. Such a beauty!
The stenciled flowers would not look the same with white edges and they look marvelous, Marcia. The brick wall gave them a soft place to show off their beauty.
