You may have heard my gleeful squeal recently! I was approached by Vivien of The Flower Challenge ... it was the door that opened, when another closed! Thank you, so very much ladies for the invitation to join your fabulous team - what an honor!
I may get a few things wrong, so be sure to get all the rules and regs directly from The Flower Challenge blog, won't you - there's a tab for that. I do know, that your card must include flowers - hence the name!
There is a guest designer this month who is a treat: Colleen Balija of Irish Rose Creations. Welcome, Colleen! And we have a sponsor: Beccy's Place - I've linked to her Freebies, as she generously shares on her blog - but there are so many gorgeous designs in her digital shop!
Okay! Enough talking... here is the color challenge for March 2021:
Beccy's Flannel Flowers is so beautiful - and with a little hand-holding from Viv - I got it printed onto Neenah 80# card stock, waited one day for my ink to cure, and reached for my Copics for coloring ... hope you like it!
I do hope you'll play along with us - you have until March 25th to add your creation to our gallery!
Thanks for stopping by!

Congrats! The Flower Challenge is a favorite of mine, and I'm so pleased that your work will be there to inspire us every month! Your purple creation is gorgeous. I find purple Copics to be a challenge sometimes. I'm off to see if I'm missing any critical colors--I love what you've done with yours.
Gorgeous card Michele and we are all thrilled to see you join our happy little design team. I am sure you will be a delight with all the beautiful cards you will inspire everyone with also ;) hugs Viv TFC DT xx
Beautiful debut! The Flower Challenge is so lucky to have you, though I will miss your CTS contributions.

Your colouring of these beautiful flowers is AMAZING, Michele! Love the shades of purple you've used with the wonderful shading to give them so much visual dimension. Kudos to you for fussy-cutting this intricate image -- great work! And I love that beautiful spray on top of your stitched background. Such a great design!

Oh Michele, your debut card as our brand new teammate on THE FLOWER CHALLENGE is gorgeously created. Not only you colored these sweet flowers perfectly, but you also did some pretty awesome fussy cutting.

Congratulations!!! I cannot believe you fussy cut that beautifully colored image. I'm impressed. And now I have to go in search of that background die, dangit.
Congratulations on the new DT spot Michele! I love purple so this one is a no-brainer - what a fabulous fussy-cutting job too!
CONGRATS on your new DT spot, Michele! I'm so happy for you, and the gals over at The Flower Challenge are very lucky to have you on their team!!!
I'm so impressed with your fussy cutting, especially with all the nooks and crannies on this image...WOW! Beautiful Copic coloring, too! I love that you used violet and blue-violet for the flower petals and adding a touch of gray was brilliant! You did an amazing job on your debut, my friend...I'm so very proud of you! xx
What a great choice TFC made to invite you to join the DT, Michele ... congratulations! Beautiful debut ... your delicious crisp, clean style suits these blooms wonderfully ... and what yummy background texture! Chapeau for that awesome trimming ... it's so precise and perfect! Hugs, Anita :)
Beautiful! Lovely colors, image and perfectly perched on that cover plate, Michele
I.m so happy for you and your new gig. It's perfect for you. This card is loaded with gorgeousness. I love the background supporting that glorious bouquet...
Well I would say that flowery team nabbed an All Star! Hooray! Your first flower card for them is wonderful.....and equally impressive is your snipping skills!
Every time I look at this flower, I cant image why I didnt download it I think its because I hadnt seen your colouring of it cause you have made it so eye catching. So good to have you on the team xx hugs Aileen
Congrats! These are so beautifully colored in shades of purple- and I love the background you used!
First off congrats Michele, secondly who wouldn't want you on their team?!!! You make amazing cards and would be an asset to any design team. Case made with this beautiful card! You've entered the world of digi's and I love it. lol This image is beautiful, but you made it even more beautiful with your amazing coloring! I love all the colors of violet and purple, even the gray-glad you snuck that in! lol The background is super cool with that stitched design. Eek! Your amazing! Hugs, Brenda
Love your wonderfully done card. You will love being on that team....it's such a good one, very supportive for sure. I was so sad when I had to step down, I just can't do it all with my little ones and keeping up with it all.
You will be such an excellent addition.
xx Karen
Congratulations on your new gig Michele! Such a beautiful image (think I might need to get myself a printer - have been winging along without one!) and such beautiful colours. Glad you didn't lose any bits doing the fussy cutting!! Vicky x
Congratulations and what a gorgeous card, your selection of purples is amazing!
You've got more guts than I do girl. Great printing, coloring and fussing cutting of that lovely digital image, Michele. I passed because I'm not good at any of those talents.
I knew that you used some gray for your purple flowers :) ! Thanks to your amazing fussy cutting we can see more of the cool background! I'm so happy you joined the team!
Happy Congratulations, Michele. So pleased for you! Love your card and purple colors too.
