The Flower Challenge #65 - Occasions

 

I'm happy to have the occasion to Celebrate for my DT card at The Flower Challenge #65 - we have TWO new designers added to our team! Welcome to Dhruvika, and Stef!!  I am happy to count you both among my friends and thrilled to now call you both teammates, too!  You will surely offer gorgeous inspiration to our players!

Ready for my card??  Here you go...


If these flowers look familiar to you, it's because it is my second time using The Stamp Market's Bell Flower layering set.  I love to stamp it lots to get used to those layers in a new set and I also had more of these die-cut ovals, and sentiments, from Pinkfresh Studio.  I found one of the plain ovals from my Spellbinder Hemstitch ovals set of dies was just big enough to sit comfortably behind that pretty oval.

I'm celebrating our newest teammates today, but this card is easy to customize for any occasion on the inside.

Now let's go see the gorgeous inspiration that my wonderful team, and our guest Trina, has to offer at The Flower Challenge blog!

You really know how to design a card, my friend! Your Bell Flower is stunning in pink and I LOVE how you layered your stitched and solid oval die cuts...so beautiful, Michele!

Bobby said...

I'm with you about stamping a new layered flower plenty of times to get good ones, Michele. That's what I had to do with my card too. I love the rich color of those bell flowers.

What a pretty CAS design without any gray element :) ...!!! The dark pink oval panel frames the bell flowers perfectly with its color and shape! Love this!
