Just us Girls #823


Lisa is our host for Just us Girls #823 and she has chosen a wonderful noun for their Word Week: Flowers!  I just so happened to have a brand-spankin'-new Altenew Flourished Flora in my hot little hands!  Thanks, Lisa!  Now let's hope I remember to link and share!


This is a 6-stencil set that took a little bit of shifting and planning to bring together but
in the end, I couldn't love it more!  You might notice that I did a 'no-line' look in the photo
above but soon decided that stamping those lines would really bring out some of the
fantastic details on this stamp.  Here are the [many] inks used - I over-stamped the
outline using the darkest of the blues from the Altenew Tranquility set: Dark Night.


I treated myself to the coordinating dies and after cutting discovered just how huge this image is!  A wee bit of surgery was required to make it fit on a 5 x 7" card!!


Isn't that wavy embossing great?  Spellbinders: Summertime Waves.

It was a great time pulling together all those colors!


Okay... I'm going right now to get this one in the JUGS#823 gallery!

Thanks for spending a bit of your weekend at my place!

Just gorgeous Michele and I like both versions equally! That's a lot of shades of color and must have been a lot of work, but well worth it! What a beautiful card! Thanks for playing at JUGS with flowers!

This is gorgeous Michele. I love the colors and that big floral image looks great on the wavy embossed tan background.
