The Flower Challenge #80 Pretty Pastels

Are you a bright and bold stamper, or are Pretty Pastels your style?  We hope so as that is exactly what we are looking for this month for Challenge #80 at The Flower Challenge!

I really don't have a preference myself, so it was easy to reach for a few of my lightest shades of Copic markers to color my florals... and this sweet flutterby inspired by my trip to our botanical garden in March!

This Wplus9 Flora and Fauna 3 set has really been loved and continues to be.
I created a screen of pale blue card stock with a PTI Ornate cover plate.
A bit of stickles in the center of each of these blooms and voila!  a pretty pastel floral card!

We hope to see you in our pretty pastel gallery!  Thank you for stopping in today - let's go see all the pastels my teamies have used, shall we?  OH! we also have a wonderful guest this month - you won't want to miss Maria's card!

  11. Beautifully colored flowers and a butterfly in soft colors, Michele! I love the color choice of the ornate cover plate background. It isn't distracting and yet it gives just right amount of interest to the card.

  12. Now that I finally have this set, this reminds me that I need to get it out to play with again. I love pastels and bright bold colors especially for flowers. But in the Spring, the pastels win out. Beautiful flowers and an equally beautiful background! Your backgrounds always astound and inspire me, my friend!
