Altenew May 2021 Inspiration Challenge - take two!

What does a girl do with extra flowers?  She makes another card!

May 2021 Inspiration Challenge, enter take two - with a bit more blue!


This particular blue comes from a paper pack from 
Altenew's Celebrations Paper set, cut with their Rounded Rectangles dies.
I've taken a different tilt for my Climber Flowers die today - 
inspired by those sweet hanging umbrellas in Virginia's photo!


You'll spot that Dotted Swirls debossing here again - 
I should get a commission, right?
Topped it off with just a smattering of PF jewels*, but saving
it for a sentiment later on, as needed.

A very quick card when you start with a finished bloom!
Hope you've had a good week so far - thanks for stopping by today!
= Michele

Thank you, Altenew!

This is as gorgeous as Take 1...and, yes, you should get a commission for using that cover die. It's great advertising.

Another gorgeous one, Michele. That paper is just right to add the blue and I wish I had that pack. It looks like it would come in handy.

I love the blue inking on the frame and am always happy to see how you have used the debossing die. You are so inventive xx

Love that blue frame! And you were right not to let that flower just hang out on your desk! Beautiful card!

This is a very fun take on the inspiration photo. And there's that awesome dotted swirl again.

OMG, I thought the previous card was gorgeous, but you made another fabulous card! The texture of the blue frame looks like real sky and the color makes the coral flower pop. The dotted swirls in the frame adds so much interest without distracting from the beauty of the flower. I love this card!
