The Flower Challenge #85 - a party reminder!

I hope by now you've had a chance to join our 7th birthday celebration over at The Flower Challenge?  If not, please do!  I would love to see this gallery full of thanks for Aileen's brilliant plan to start it all seven years ago!  I for one can't get enough of playing with florals: stamped, die-cut, Copic colored, water colored, or left as line-art - I love them all!  Here's the party plan:

Right now, I'm working hard to get as many Christmas cards made as possible for my Seniors - so it's another holiday card today!  Hope you don't mind?


By now you might know I adore pink at Christmas!  and a shaped card is
so fun, right?  I used an older die from PTI to make it happen.

Since I had that sweet set from The Greetery I used on my first card at hand, I stamped a few pink blooms using these inks...


It was fun to arrange my bouquet on one of those Ornate Nesting dies from Altenew.

My sentiment comes by way of a new addition to Pinkfresh Studios collection of Basic Banners: Christmas!  It's one of those time-savers that stamps all the sentiments, then cuts all the banners at once.

Okay, that's it for me - there are even more cards from my teammates to see so let's go - they inspire me, too!
