The Flower Challenge Reminder #108

Hello friends.  I'm back with a friendly reminder that there's still time to play along with us at The Flower Challenge, where this month we're looking for Thank You cards...with flowers of course!!

I have a bit of thanking to do with a fellow DT member who kindly let me cut a basket using a die from HB (Rattan Basket) that she brought this past Summer when we had a play date and also enabled me to buy another HB set called Lovely Layers: Autumn Bouquet.  Thanks Bobby!!  Here's what I came up with using the basket and flower dies...

Now some people might call these weeds, but I think they're beautiful, so they're definitely FLOWERS in my book!  I had die cut the basket in kraft and then inked around the edges to give a bit of definition.  I used sandable cardstock to die cut my flowers and leaves and then arranged them in the basket.

 I attached the basket of flowers to a background that I embossed using SSS's Fall Foliage 3D embossing folder. I also ink blended on the edges of the embossed background to differentiate it from the card base (PTI's Rustic Cream cs).  I finished with a Tiny Tag (PTI) for my sentiment and used twine to attach it to the handle of the basket.  A pretty simple card really, but I love the way it turned out!

The DT has some beautiful examples of floral thank you cards that you can find right HERE, so check them out and play along with us!  Remember that Christmas is coming and we all could use a few extra thank you cards for gifts we receive.  This challenge is open till Tuesday, Nov. 25th @ 5:00PM.  

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