The Flower Challenge Reminder #66

 

I hope you've been finding lots of wonderful 'scraps' or 'snippets' in and around your studio!  Here is a reminder from me - and don't forget to check out all the wonderful reminder cards from The Flower Challenge team, and our special guest Juhi have made here.  

Today I am happy to have a few scraps of this wonderful Honey Bee patterned paper left from my love note to the brave Ukrainian people.  I think it makes a delightful backdrop for these darling Waffle Flower Crocuses ... of course they had be yellow!

Check out the special watermark Viv has created for us - so thoughtful, right?
I plan on using it until this horror is over, and the Ukrainian people can come home!

I hope we've given you tons of places where you might find some pretty beautiful scraps.   So how are you coming along with your cards??  I can't wait to see them in our gallery!

Your love note for the Ukrainians really is stunning. Selfishly, I'm loving seeing so much yellow in cyberspace...such a hopeful color. Your crocuses are absolutly perfect and the stitching is the perfect touch.

The yellow crocuses are lovely against the blue…..spring is coming right? And I pray that with spring comes peace for the Ukraine…

Beautiful love note to the brave and courageous people of Ukraine Michele x. The background paper is perfect for those pretty yellow crocus and what a perfect sentiment too x. Very thoughtful watermark Michele x.

Such a beautiful card and sentiment. You always add just the perfect detail that is a bit unexpected, but oh so perfect. I think the watermark is gorgeous, too. Thank you for sharing. Crafty hugs!

Beautiful yellow crocuses against the blue pp panel sewn on the card base, Michele! Adding the stitched lines to the snippet gives it a new look.
The card shows your love and care for the Ukrainian people. Love the thoughtful watermark too.
