The Flower Challenge #70 Reminder

 

Can you believe it's mid-July already??  But that doesn't mean you don't have time to make a CAS card [or two] for our current assignment at The Flower Challenge #70!

Here's mine ... yes, I did use the same Spellbinder Magnolia, but I changed up the foil and added a bit of Copic coloring, too - all perfectly okay while keeping it CAS!


Our wonderful Guest Designer, my good friend Marcia Hill, brought so many goodies to share during our last play day.  This cover plate for instance - another gem from Pinkfresh Studios called Sparkling Diamonds.  I made it into a frame for my Magnolias by die-cutting an oval [SSS Shimmer Oval - S679] from the middle and popping up another fun foiled sentiment from Waffle Flower Crafts foil/die duo: Hey There!  

See how simple Clean and Simple can be??  So little effort with all the right amount of white space.  What are you waiting for?  Come play with us - we love it when you do!

What a great idea to change up the foil on these beautiful Magnolia's Michele...it really does give two totally different looks and I'm loving both of them!! I love what you did with cutting the oval out of the PFS background too...frames those flowers just beautifully!! Lovely, lovely CAS card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Beautiful foiled magnolias, Michele! Love, love, love how you did the background with the stitched oval and beautifully done sentiment! I so enjoyed our chat yesterday and I LOVE the soft blue flowers on my birthday card! Thank you for making my birthday extra special and the singing! :-)

Oh my goodness, how I LOVE this one! I even have that foil plate. Gorgeous! So glad you and M are back to play dates!

Both card designs are brilliant, Michele. Using the foil really dresses up your cards but all the white keeps it pristinely CAS. That diamond cover plate is my new fav and you've showcased it beautifully!
