Have we had you seeing spots? or are stripes your thing? Either way, we are so happy to have you adding your creations to our gallery at The Flower Challenge - of course they must have the requisite flowers, you know! I had borrowed a really lovely Botani-cut Geranium set from The Greetery from my friend Marcia recently... it turns out it is right at home on my stripes!
PTI stripes, that is, cut with one of their layering frames. Adding these inks with a small blending brush allows for lots of depth and dimension. I made a little 'pot sign' using an old Altenew mini set called Best Sentiments. Here are those referenced inks:
Alright! I'm off to see all of the reminders from my teammates, and to check to see if YOU are in the gallery! Oh, you better believe I am watching!

I have made it back at last! A few days with the grand kids turned into over a week away from blogland. It was completely unintentional, but I found myself overwhelmed and exhausted. Luckily we all had a very nice time and I am now happily recovering and getting back to normal. I see I have missed several pretty special cards from you, but luckily this geranium is my favourite. So vibrant and joyful and those stripes work a treat xx
ReplyDeletethose geraniums are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! What a bright fun way to start my day, thank you Michele!
ReplyDeleteLovelovelove this pot o' geraniums! The color is just like some in my fenced in back yard. I had to hide them from the deer. No more pots on my south deck, sniff sniff. The Deer Out doesn't even seem to work anymore. That's what I get for living on the edge of the woods, but I wouldn't trade it. Your card fills me up with smiles, Michele!
ReplyDeleteWow! These flowers are so bright and pretty and look fantastic on these stripes! Did I mention how pretty these flowers are? Wow!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful and cheerful summer card! Your geraniums are lovely!
ReplyDeleteLovely card to make someone's day shine a bit brighter. Thanks for sharing, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cheerful card Michele! I adore the sweet little flag sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThese look just like the geraniums on our deck, minus the pretty striped background! Glad you had a fun play time with these sweet little flowers and the card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Michele!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteVery fun and bold stripes, what a perfect use to show off your pretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, Michele. I love the really wide stripes with the bright pink of the geraniums.
ReplyDeleteGasp! You would not believe I've made an almost identical card with those geraniums! I must have sent it out because I can't find the original card, but I did take photos. GMTA!! Love how you added the stripes--great design!
ReplyDeleteI truly love these geraniums but have been resisting them for a long time. I love this creation with them, and that stripy background could not be a more perfect stage for them.
ReplyDeleteA great way to incorporate stripes in your card! These big bold stripes with the added interest of the frame really make this gorgeous geranium die-cut pop.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank YOU for this fabulous burst of color on this cloudy day in NY! Love it~
ReplyDeleteWell isn't this card adorable Michele?!! I love those bold stripes but it is the pot of geranium that get me! Too cute! Sorry, playing catch up once again. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and bright thank-you card, Michele! Your ink-blending definitely added lots of depth and dimension to the Geranium and leaves. The pot-sign sentiment is so cute!
