A-bouquet ... get it? in place of A-Okay? is this thing on???
OH did I need a little positive thinking this week! Something wonderful to celebrate: we have TWO new members of our IB Team to introduce so be sure to read all about that on our IB blog. Welcome to you Cindy, and Silke - so happy to have you join us, and can't wait to get to know you better!
Our photo inspiration was the perfect excuse to do some mindless/mindful die cutting with a few colored card stocks in my stash. Altenew Wildflower Garden to the rescue! I was inspired by the darling flowers, colors, and even my sentiment... everyone needs to hear these words on occasion...
I hope you'll join me as I head over to IB157 to see what our new team members have created! Of course I know the whole team will see this photo through different eyes, and styles!

Gorgeous card! I love how you stamped leaf branches in gray, it gives so much dimension to the flower arrangement. And, of course, the sentiment in gray is perfect for this card.
Your card is not only a-bouquet it is a-mazing! Love every last detail Michele!
Boy, this is gorgeous! These dies are fabulous...and the background stamping is perfect. Lovely, thoughtful card!
Glad you explained the A-bouquet to me...that one went right over my head!! Your card is SO pretty Michele and I love the colors and the gray shadow behind them...lovely, lovely card!! Hugs. :0)
OH my..... love, LOVE this beautiful card!!!
A-positive A-bouquet this certainly is...and need desperately right now. Sweet grey leaves in the background make those Spring-y blues and yellows POP!
I am cracking up. Your card is gorgeous. I love the way some of the die cuts are stamped and that A-O gray in the background and sentiment is just fabulous!
Just the right amount of elements! As noted previously your gray stamped leaves seals the deal!
Hi Michele, your card is just gorgeous! Love your take on the inspiration photo!
Thank you for the sweet shout out ...so excited to be on this team :) !!! Looking forward to seeing more of your fab creations!
Beautiful colours on this one and I love that grey stamping underneath the die-cuts. Such a good way to add just enough extra interest. The subtle textured paper is great too xx
You've found the perfect blooms to create this lovely card! I like the gray you added to pick up those little shadows from the photo!
Beautiful!! The soft grey works so well and I really love those pretty flowers... Clever interpretation of that photo. Enjoy your day Michele
I don't know how you do it. You consistently create gorgeous cards in so many ways! This is gorgeous. I love the variety of colors, the shades and the hint of gray. So appealing visually. Fabulous work. Thanks for sharing. Hugs!
I love these bright, cheerful colors and how you've used them, Michele! The soft gray stamping in the background and for the sentiment make this soothing and uplifting!
Honestly, whoever picks these inspiration photos has a link to my brain!! This one is gorgeous too - as is your brilliant card Michele. I love the colours you chose, your subtle background stamping and of course that wonderful sentiment. Vicky x
Hey There! Such a beautiful card design and I love the gray shadow print in the background - really lovely! Hope all is well up North! Take care!

The layering effect looks so pretty Michele and your card is delicate and so very thoughtful x. Hope you are managing to think positive?....x. Thinking of you and sending hugs x.
WOW! This is a real beauty Michele, I knew when I saw the inspiration pic that you would knock it out of the ballpark!
Absolutely stunning card, Michele! I really love the soft gray blooms that you placed behind the floral die cuts and your color palette is fabulous! Such a lovely take on the inspiration photo ~ xx
Beautiful, I especially love the gray stamping.
What a lovely interpretation of the IB photo, Michele! Love the die-cut flowers, and as everyone above says, the light gray shadow and sentiment are the perfect complement to the flowers. The subtle embossed background panel is a comforting touch.

this is beautiful Michele! I love the blues and soft yellow flowers. Your card has put this Altenew set on the top of my wish list.
This is lovely! I like how you created the longer vine - and the soft gray in the background is so pretty.
These flowers are so beautiful!
So very beautiful, and such a great idea to use colored cardstock! I ought to do that more often - thank you for the inspo!
