The Flower Challenge #65 - Occasions reminder

 

I'm back to remind you that there is still plenty of time, and occasions, to share a card with The Flower Challenge #65!   

The Occasion I'm celebrating today is a birthday!  More specifically, my friend Marcia's!  She has rekindled my love of all things PTI - and these [Fall Florals] darlings just remind me of a favorite Buttonbush

It was a treat to use the 2022 Pantone Color of the Year: Very Peri - Periwinkle to be exact.  I found a pretty good purplish-blue match for it from SSS's Hydrangea ink. 

A sprinkling of Pinkfresh jewels, CP Twilight grey ink, and another very old PTI Mix & Mat die.
Oyster Grey cardstock from EH.

I hope you have a moment to come with me to see all the other DT reminder cards!  They are all so wonderful!  Our guest Trina, and the 'new kids' on the team have outdone themselves!  Let's go...

  3. Lovely to see your trademark grey taking centre stage again, I think I have missed it recently. It looks amazing with the little pops of periwinkle and white. Love the design and that unusual birthday sentiment too xx

  13. I've never seen those PTI florals and they are darling, Michele. I love the colors. I have the ink if it hasn't dried out and also that Mat die that I haven't used in forever. Thanks for the inspiration.
