The Flower Challenge #91
Oh, I am so pleased you stopped by today! If you are here to celebrate my 10th Blog-aversary, please scroll down one post!
May I introduce you all to the May 2024 edition of The Flower Challenge! I think I may speak for all of us: coloring our flowers is the most fun of all!
Take note of the graphic... we're open for all coloring mediums! For this month, I've used the same flower and have colored it two ways. Today I offer you a water-colored version of this lovely Lucky Tulip from The Ton... I'm sorry to say they discontinued this one - I'm scratching my head over that decision!
10th Blog-aversary!
TEN YEARS! I hope you agree that is a celebration-worthy feat! A whole LOT of fun challenges I've had to play in, friends to play cards with, and you all have brought such joy to my days, weeks, and years! Thanks, from the bottom of my heart for every kind word you've left for me along the way, dear friends!
I couldn't wait to recreate my very first shared card. You'll find the original HERE if you are curious. Keeping things fun and using my words have been a constant over the years. Today's card is no exception... and the rewrite of my INSIDE sentiment is still relevant!

Two fun cards for two fun challenges!
After cropping the panel down with a stitched rectangle die, it was mounted on my card base and a simple [Betterpress-ed] sentiment finished my card. Thanks, Julie!

More tulips!
More? I'm sure you're not surprised ... what better way to start the weekend? I have two cards that were started while TK was visiting and gave a helping hand with my Glimmer Hot Foiling machine - both are stenciled, both from a set from Alex Syberia Designs: Tulips Treasure.
I wonder if my favorite will also be yours?

Freshly Made Sketches #633
My blog-buddy Linda is our Sketch artist at Freshly Made Sketches this week! She has such a great sense of humor that something tells me she'll get a chuckle out of my card this week... here is her Sketch:

Tip-toe-ing through my tulips!
As I patiently await the blooms on my tulips [those that the bunny didn't eat] I enjoyed a fun first-time playtime with some new press plates from LDRS Creative today! Introducing their Tulips Impression-Letterpress plate - of course I had to make my favorite white...

Testing, testing... my abilities!
While doing some bargain shopping recently at Altenew, I picked up a set that I'd had on my radar for some time... only one issue... they were out of the stamp set in the bundle. Using my 'I can make do' attitude, and trusting my [limited] drawing skills, I bought it anyway. Here is the set:
