A reminder about the wonderful inspiration for your favorite florals from
The Flower Challenge!
Challenge #55 is all about florals in Pretty Pastels!
I found the easiest way to make colors fit the pastel shade is to
go with water colors, so that's the path I took today, using the same set I used on the 4th - look what a difference the medium makes:
My Pinkfresh Floral Notes wrap all the way to the back when stamped
onto a standard A2 card! I love when that happens! After die cutting
with the coordinating die, I found where the fold of the card would be,
and gave it a snip - the card opens so much easier this way.
Such an unexpected surprise to find something pretty on the back, too!
Now, we do hope you'll find some posies in your own stash to paint, stamp, or water color in your favorite PRETTY PASTELs - we can't wait to see them in our
TFC#55 gallery! Now let's go see what gorgeous reminders my teammates have made!

Oh goodness, this is beautiful! Love the way you've water colored those fabulous blooms!
Gorgeous...front AND back! Your pastel posies are so fresh and they'll never grow old! Just beautiful!
So beautiful the way you wrapped your flowers around the card, if look so beautiful!
Such a good idea to continue the spray on the back of the card, love your soft colours and the perfect little splatters xx
Lovel that you put it on the back too...so cool.
Your watercolouring is divine! Such a gorgeous card with the added surprise at the back.
Fabulous card, Michele. Love the pastels and the way the flowers wrap around the card. So fun and unique. Thanks for sharing. :)
A Springtime STUNNER Michele! Your water coloring is beautiful and I just LOVE how you carried the flowers around to the back of the card too...absolutely LOVELY!!! Hugs. :0)
This is a stunner, my dear.....and just the inspiration I need. I recently purchased this set, all in an attempt to overcome my "Fear of Florals". And I haven't used it yet. Perfect timing. It is so hard to break away from holding on to my critter favorites and challenge myself. Thanks for your help!
Love your pretty wrap around pastel die cut posies, Michele. What a fun surprise for the recipient:-) TFS my friend. Love and Hugs, Nancy
Beautiful watercolor, and look at that wrap! Gorgeous!
I'm late today! Love, love, love your sweet pastel flowers that wrap around to the back of the card! What a creative and fun way to use this large image! This is super awesome, my friend!
Beautifully CAS! What a great idea to let the flowers continue on the back of the card! Such a beauty! Have a lovely weekend, Michele!
Those pastel flowers are beautifully watercoloured Michele. LOVE the way the flowers wrap around to the back. Gorgeous card! xx
Oh snap! Love your wrap around bouquet, i haven't done one of these in an age!
What is that saying? Business in the front - party in the back? You are so right - why end the gorgeousness on the front when there is a whole 'nother canvas on the flip side?!?! I do love how you think!
This is just ever so light and lovely. Great idea to wrap to the back
This is gorgeous and how clever to wrap it around the back. Why didn't I think of that?
Beautifully fantastic! Love the unexpected surprise of the flowers flowing to the back, well done!
So very pretty, pastely (?) and beautiful and yes what a lovely surprise on the back too Michele x.
I remember other stamps you wrapped to the back and always loved that idea, Michele. I agree that watercolor is the easiest way to make flowers pastel and your watercoloring is exceptional.
So gorgeous, and I love the wrap around design...
What beautiful pastel shades of the flowers, Michele! Love the nice surprise on the back!

You are so clever and soooooo talented, Michele! Your watercolored flowers are so pretty and I love your unexpected surprise! Absolutely stunning card, my friend!!! xx
Pretty darn gorgeous I'd say... Love the wrap around and your watercolouring is beautiful!
Stunning coloring and design, Michele. I love what you're doing with paper crafting these days. You have helped empty my wallet several times lately. Luckily I have a gc to purchase this set!
How delicious, Michele ... those trailing blooms are gorgeous ... and what a lovely surprise to find them growing along the back of your card! A stunner! Hugs, Anita :)
love, love and more love.
