Laurie Willison is the host with the most this month at
Altenew's Inspiration Challenge She is a mighty wonderful host IRL, too!
I am a very lucky girl to have actually VISITED Laurie - it's been
a few years, but an evening we'll remember forever!
I had a little fun with the Altenew Statement Flower today -
THEN remembered this challenge! My colors might have
been a little brighter to match up with Laurie's potted plants, but I
love how it turned out.
Here you go, Laurie! Now let's start planning our
crafty weekend on our Island already!!
Turns out there IS a die for this Statement Flower. But it was easy enough to cut out.
I gave it a little lift with a SB die cut, and a sentiment from my snippets bin.
I used Distress inks to water color my flowers today.

That looks like a familiar flower. wonderful coloring and fussy cutting. I love the bit its resting on too.
WTG on your fussy cutting! Beautiful card and layers. Statement Flowers has been top of my list for so long but...someday.
This turned out stunning! Those bigger flowers ground with the big frame is perfect on this slimline. Well done 👍
Hello gorgeous! Wow, I love those big blooms. Incredible card, my friend!
So beautifully done!
A beauty Michele!
OMG..Clean Crisp and Creative CAS design, Michele. Love your fussy cutting of your beautiful flowers. How fun to have met Laurie IRL:-) TFS Love and Hugs...Nancy
When my phone tinkled this morning, this was the first thing I saw.. What a wonderful start to the day and what a beauty!! The stamp is gorgeous and your painting is perfection!
Wowza, no one does flowers quite like you, my dear! And this one really does make a statement!
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! This card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Michele!! CAS and just perfect! And don't you go visiting any islands with Laurie without letting me tag along!! Hugs. :0)
I am loving these awesome flowers, Michele! They are gorgeous in these colors, popped on top of that lovely die cut and with the perfect sentiment!
I recently got the Statement Flower but haven't colored it yet. I bought the die too. I've seen several cards you've done with it and they are all gorgeous, Michele. You've given me some inspiration for the next time I use mine.
Oohed and aahed over this one at IG last night...sincerely, sooooo beautiful. Oustanding coloring of the blooms and backing it with that pretty oval was brilliant. Really, a gorgeous card.
Wonderful card Michele, I had this stamp in my hot little hands just yesterday lol.
Those big flowers are fabulous!
You and your GORGEOUS flowers -- wonderful, Michele! I love the white on white "lift" too
What a stunner! I've never seen this Altenew bloom before, but here it is in all it's glory! Just gorgeous, Michele!
Pretty die cut frame on the background for those fabulous flowers to shine and a real WOW card Michele x. Great take on the challenge photo too x.
This is just gorgeous, Michele. What a wonderful combination of colors for this beautiful image. I love the ovel beneath the flowers. So 2 things: where is that oval from - I don't recognize it. and The penblade... is that what you use to cut out your images when you are not using a die? This card is stunning. I just love it.
Beautiful cards Michele! I love those blooms, but I really love that oval die. That is cool looking and the flowers are so beautiful on it. Of course I love your watercoloring/coloring. So beautiful! Hugs, Brenda
This is absolutely beautiful, Michele! I love the watercolored gorgeous flowers and the wonderful design with the off-the-edge oval frame!
