The Flower Challenge #107 - Reminder

Hello friends.  Just a friendly reminder that there's still time to play along with us here at The Flower Challenge where we're looking for you to add some PURPLE to your flower cards.

I have a sweet little card using PTI's Into the Blooms: Above Ground Dies...


I fell in love with the barrel container and had to buy the die set!  I cut if from kraft cs and then ink blended it a bit before adding the die cut leaves and flowers.


For my background I used a PB die (classy frames) and die cut it from white cs and a light purple, and then also stamped the purple with a retired SU! background stamp called Script. I also used SU!'s Subtle embossing folder on the main background piece to add some texture.  The barrel was added with foam tape for some dimension and then I finished with a few Disco Ball sequins (Gina K) and a press plate sentiment from Spellbinders.  

The DT has lots of beautiful inspiration to get you motivated right HERE, so check it out and then play along with us.  This challenge is open till Saturday, Oct. 25th @ 5:00PM.


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

Well, of course you had to have it, and look how absolutely charming it is! Beautifully framed, and I'm loving the purple! It's almost as pretty as the sweetly jaw dropping yellow-flower card you sent for my birthday. Thank you. (Sorry, but I couldn't get your email to come up so I could send a personal note. Maybe it doesn't start with Marcia?)
