Just us Girls #828


Denise has the most wonderful 'flower bed' full of flower petals to delight us this week!  I took advantage of her Mood Board #828 to make a card!  After watching a video from Jen McGuire over a year ago using Spellbinders' Sunflower Serenade die. You can catch that video right HERE.  

I took all the brightest colors of the blooms from Denise's mood board and armed with a sampler pack of Concord & 9th's cardstock, set about die-cutting a whole bunch - ready for the results?


I couldn't help but CASE one of Jen's cards after watching! She had the most wonderful color combo that I could never have imagined!
I found a sweet sentiment in my Concord & 9th Picked Posies sentiment set!


We've had a couple of rainy days that were perfect for time-spent in the studio - and I watched another video that MIGHT have been just as fun!  More on that soon!

I couldn't feel more honored, Denise - thanks so very much!

Fabulous! I just broke out that die for Color Hues, and now you've inspired me to go far beyond a yellow sunflower. As always, thanks for the inspiration!

Michele... I am laughing because I had Jennifer McG in the background yesterday while I worked, and she had made a trayful of these flowers... I wondered what she was going to do with all these flowers...Now I know. Two great minds thinking alike...great card!
