I'm sending a card over to Where Women Create on Instagram today. But thought I'd share with you, just in case you have a word that you're particularly fond of this year. I gave 'my word' a lot of thought and came to the conclusion that HOPE continues to be what gets me through any day!
Two Altenew sets came together to help me showcase my word: Build-A-Flower Triumph Tulip [my newest tulip acquired in 2020] and their Caps Bold Alphabet dies.
My message? Hope is attainable - sometimes hidden or buried by other emotions - but worth every bit of effort to find.
Here are the inks I've used today for layering these gorgeous shades-of-turquoise tulips:
It's just beautiful, such a wonderful idea and I think it sums up how many feel. You definitely have your mojo back xx
ReplyDeleteWOW, WOW, WOW!!! This is just incredible Michele! First of all, I absolutely LOVE the word HOPE and all it entails...it's right up there with my all time favorite word JOY! And the colors you used on those tulips are BEAUTIFUL!! CAS and just an absolute lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning, Michele!!! And I love how your card design embodies your word of the year and what it means to you. Totally brilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful word choice and wonderful tulips entwined with it! Beautiful card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHOw thoughtful, meaning I can see the thought you put into this. It’s provoking and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! HOPE is a good word for any year, but highlighted like this (the colors are gorgeous) makes it even more special! Every day is a new beginning!
ReplyDeleteStunning! The message is so encouraging and the card is gorgeous. Wow. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHope is a perfect word for any day or year, Michele! Your card is so inspiring as hope does hide from us sometimes and we have to search deep to find even a tiny shred. But then that tiny shred can grow into the focus of our lives. Awesome, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSimply a stunning and elegant card! If we didn't have hope, how would one continue to live?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card and a perfect word. Without hope where would we be? I sure hope you are having a good week and thanks for this glorious pause in my hectic morning. Bless your heart!
ReplyDeleteIsn't HOPE the reason we get out of bed in the morning? It is for me especially since the children, dog and cat are gone. Think your word is univerally true and think your card is absolutely gorgeous. Those tulips are simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour word of the year should be everyone's, Michele. I love it hidden among the tulips where it can surprise us with wonderful outcomes.
ReplyDeleteI think HOPE is a great word for this year Michele! We must never lose sight of hope in any year, but least these past few years. I'm totally in love with your card, the flowers, the color combo, the hidden hope....it all comes together to make one gorgeous card that will brighten anyone's day! Hope your day is amazing my friend! Hugs, Brenda

ReplyDeleteThe most perfect sentiment and we all have to hold onto 'Hope' Michele x. I love how you've hidden it, just to peep out from those beautiful and contemporary tulips. Another stunner x.
ReplyDeleteAnother breathtaking work of art... the colors are gorgeous, as is the image, as is your heart. I love it.
ReplyDeleteYour choice of word is an inspiration my friend, as is your card! My hope is that one day we get to meet 'for reals' Mwah!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! And while I don't have a "word", I'll say here-here to yours! Hope is what we all need these days
ReplyDeleteMichele, HOPE is one of the words I think about when I do a mini yoga session every morning. I love this beautiful GREEN tulip card with the camouflaged sentiment!
