I'm back to remind you that there is still plenty of time, and occasions, to share a card with The Flower Challenge #65!
The Occasion I'm celebrating today is a birthday! More specifically, my friend Marcia's! She has rekindled my love of all things PTI - and these [Fall Florals] darlings just remind me of a favorite Buttonbush!
It was a treat to use the 2022 Pantone Color of the Year: Very Peri - Periwinkle to be exact. I found a pretty good purplish-blue match for it from SSS's Hydrangea ink.
A sprinkling of Pinkfresh jewels, CP Twilight grey ink, and another very old PTI Mix & Mat die.
Oyster Grey cardstock from EH.
I hope you have a moment to come with me to see all the other DT reminder cards! They are all so wonderful! Our guest Trina, and the 'new kids' on the team have outdone themselves! Let's go...

Using the Pantone color of the year was an amazing choice...love how it looks with that gorgeous grey. You really know how to make a birthday card. Marcia will be so delighted.
ReplyDeleteTiming is amazing. Love this and I am sure Marcia did too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your trademark grey taking centre stage again, I think I have missed it recently. It looks amazing with the little pops of periwinkle and white. Love the design and that unusual birthday sentiment too xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous colour combination and a modern and striking design Michele. Thank you for the link to the 'Buttonbush', which was new to me. Every day a school day Michele ....lol x.
ReplyDeleteOh I like this! Love the colors, love your version of the Buttonbush! So fun that we both dug out our PTI goodies today! How do I not own this cute fall florals set? They probably don't make it anymore either ~ grr!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card this is Michele, love your colour choices and those flowers are wonderful xx hugs Aileen
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Michele! I too love those "button" stamps from PTI, but you've manipulated them into pure delight
ReplyDeleteLucky Marcia! This is a beautiful card, Michele! Well, any card you make is filled with beauty, that is for sure. I love the color palette and you always add interesting details that add so much beauty and uniqueness that help it stand apart from other cards. Such a talent you have!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card. The Peri and Gray are a most lovely combo, and you have rocked it. No surprise!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun flowers, Michele! I've been looking through my inks trying to find a good shade of periwinkle. You found the perfect shade! I know Marcia is enjoying your birthday love.
ReplyDeleteI am most definitely still enjoying your BEAUTIFUL card using the PTI set and Periwinkle color...along with the gray and the die cut frame it's a match made in heaven, and I'm so glad I was the recipient! Glad my birthday inspired you for this challenge too...guess getting older is good for something, eh??!! Lovely, lovely card my friend...thank you!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOh my ..... the periwinkle and the gray and the white and the circles are fabulous together! Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen those PTI florals and they are darling, Michele. I love the colors. I have the ink if it hasn't dried out and also that Mat die that I haven't used in forever. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWow Michele, this card is just gorgeous! I love that gray background, the scalloped mat and those pretty little flowers in the blue/purplish color. That is a cool sentiment too. Love everything about this card! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI can't stop admiring your card for the cute and unusual stamps arranged on such a fun mat. The periwinkle is pretty but, ohhhh, with the soft gray it's sublime!
ReplyDeleteI love the periwinkle paired with the gray! And what sweet florals - perfect with the fun sentiment!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a refreshing and beautiful card, Michele! I LOve the circle-themed wonderful design, and the color combo (the Pantone Color of the Year paired with light gray)! I'm sure Marcia will treasure the card!
ReplyDeleteHideko xx
Nothing like some 'Periwinkle' and grey togeher to make a happy card (wink'le)!
ReplyDeleteAll the wonderful curves in this design draw the eye around your card. So very gorgeous!
