I hope by now you are all aware that it's HIP to be square - at least it is over at The Flower Challenge #89 - and you have until the 25th of the month to get those cards in our gallery!
I found another wonderful image from Altenew for my reminder: Book Engravings - stamps, dies, and embossing folder all made it into my cart back during the
inventory reduction sale in December.
I reached for a handful of pretty aquas and greens from my Copic collection:
... then mounted the die cut pieces over top of the embossed image on my
5" SQUARE card base!
Here's another sentiment from Spellbinders' - A Little Message.
I finished it inside: Big birthdays, deserve BIG wishes!!
I know just the perfect person with the best sense of humor who will appreciate that one!
Okay! If you haven't added one or more squares to our gallery yet, you have plenty of time - so what are you waiting for? Maybe a little more inspiration will help? You'll find everything you need over at The Flower Challenge blog!

I LOVE this embossed background and the painted watercolored flowers are fantastic! I didn't realize there was a die to match this embossing folder. Oy, I didn't need to know that!
ReplyDeleteHow inspiring you are Michele! I'm running my minds eye over my embossing folders and wondering if I have something to replicate this gorgeous look! Vicky x
