Who wouldn't want to sit in this bright Adirondack chair for a spell?
Hi, friends! Hope you're enjoying these lazy days of Summer! Our weather has been just glorious lately - all the more reason I was ready to play with Virginia's gorgeous photo and colors in the August 2022 Inspiration Challenge!
My card uses the newest addition to my Altenew embossing folder stash - Virginia might have inspired that purchase, too!
First up - here are the inks I've used today:
Altenew inks for wet work, and distress oxides for 'dauber-ing!'
Even though these Cherry Plum Blossoms would be a Springtime sighting, I just love them in these wonderful pre-Autumn tones!
Another September birthday card - check!

Altenew's Floral Sprig is the home of my sentiment today - cut with an old MFT die, heat-embossed with Platinum.
WOW...beautiful embossing folder and I love it in the autumnal tones! Lovely, lovely card my friend...wish my birthday was in September!! Hugs. :0)

ReplyDeleteWow, these cherry blossoms in soft fall colors are gorgeous, Michele! I'm always impressed with your thinking-outside-the-box ideas. The way you used the circle for the sentiment panel is unique. You matched the colors of the Altenew inks and the DOX inks perfectly and colored with them so beautifully!
