The Flower Challenge #101

Does it feel April-y where you live?  Spring often takes its own sweet time in Michigan!  But I have some really pretty springlike flowers for you - thanks to my friend, TK who sent me the most wonderful birthday gift last November!   Don't you think for a minute that I didn't play with it immediately - but I really wanted to feature these Altenew: Flutter and Bloom florals here for The Flower Challenge #101:

I pulled some lovely purple Copics for today's florals - but watch
out for the water-colored and stenciled versions later this year!


I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and
popped them up on top of a gorgeous, embossed panel I found in my stash.
Isn't it a perfect match?  I'm sure the wonderful person who 
sent it to me carefully wrote its name on the BACK before
I stuck it on my card. 


We are looking forward to a gallery FULL of gorgeous Spring-colored flowers - will you be playing along?  Come see all the lovely colors of Spring from my teammates!

Beautiful flowers! And just gorgeous over the embossing folder. You can't get more beautiful than a CAS card like this one. It's not feeling very April-y here. It's in the 50's for one day and then we have more snow coming this week. Come on spring, I know you're there!!

Such beautiful card. It's been snowy and gray here. Next week will be lovely and more spring like.
