The Flower Challenge #59 reminder...

 

It's hard to believe that we are midway through the month of August already!  I'm here to deliver my quick reminder that you still have time to get out those fun dies you know you have, and share a card or two with us at The Flower Challenge #59!  Have you joined the slimline bandwagon?  It's an option this month!

Here are two cards using another layering die set from Altenew's Craft-a-Flower collection of die sets: 


Do you have a favorite?


Aren't they gorgeous?  Using nothing but colored card stock, and dies!  I adore this die set - so much so that I've left them sentiment-free but left space for an addition later as need be.

I just know you have a die set you love - why not join us?  We'd love to have you!

Both of these cards are gorgeous!! I love both colors but the second card is my favorite because of the way you matted it. STUNNING design.

I love the Craft-a-flowers but don't remember seeing this one, Michele. It's a beautiful larger than life rose in any color but I do like the second one better.

Beautiful times two, love these!

Gorgeous, beautiful, fantastic! Who'd have ever thunk cutting paper in certain shapes could result in beauties like these? Thank you for thinking of the colors that would work so beautifully together. Love both!

I think this is the most awesome layered die cut flower I've seen! When I saw the first one, I said "wow". Then I scrolled down and saw the second and did a double WOW! Two gorgeous blooms!

Gorgeous blooms. One of the most lovely of the Altenew sets and you've picked the perfect colors to show them off.

Two beautiful cards, Michele. The layered flower is gorgeous! I'm a pink girl, but have to say that the contrast with the red and soft green wins my heart. :) xx

I don't have any layering die sets Michele and WOW am I loving these stunners?....I think the pink one is amazingly feminine and romantic and then I scrolled down and saw the second one and it's this one that has nudged it for me....I love grey too x. Stunning cards, both of them Michele x.

Gasp! What beauties these are!

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

These are both absolutely gorgeous. I am very partial to #2... just sayin'.

Both cards are gorgeous, Michele! For the lover of die-cutting like me, these cards are dream cards!
What I most like about the cards is your color combos. I think the color combo plays a very important part in laying dies.
The simple oval and rectangle framed the flowers so beautifully.
This die set will be in my shopping cart soon. 😉

These are both so beautiful, I love the layered flowers from Altenew and can barely resist buying them all. The only thing holding me back is the trailer full of unused stamps sitting in my very large craft room lol.. The layers, the colours used all fantastic xx

Barb Ghig said...

Absolutely GORGEOUS cards, Michele! Beautiful colors...WOW! This puppy is going straight onto my wishlist right now! xx

Just love your layered flowers, Michele - both versions look amazing! If I had to pick one, I'd go for the pink rose in the large oval but both are fabulous!! Thanks for the inspiration at the Flower Challenge!
