Who wouldn't want to sit in this bright Adirondack chair for a spell?
Hi, friends! Hope you're enjoying these lazy days of Summer! Our weather has been just glorious lately - all the more reason I was ready to play with Virginia's gorgeous photo and colors in the August 2022 Inspiration Challenge!
My card uses the newest addition to my Altenew embossing folder stash - Virginia might have inspired that purchase, too!
First up - here are the inks I've used today:
Altenew inks for wet work, and distress oxides for 'dauber-ing!'
Even though these Cherry Plum Blossoms would be a Springtime sighting, I just love them in these wonderful pre-Autumn tones!
Another September birthday card - check!

Altenew's Floral Sprig is the home of my sentiment today - cut with an old MFT die, heat-embossed with Platinum.

Beautiful work, Michele. Your fall color palette is wonderful. You always delight!
Well, I turn my back for 5 minutes and I have missed all sorts of gorgeousness on your blog. So many amazing cards and colours, thank you for bringing all that joy into my life today. I am sorry not to visit each post, but I will never catch up if I do. I also need to recharge my batteries, grandchildren are exhausting, but delightful too xx
Beautiful coloring on the blooms and the shades are perfect for September!
Wow, these cherry blossoms in soft fall colors are gorgeous, Michele! I'm always impressed with your thinking-outside-the-box ideas. The way you used the circle for the sentiment panel is unique. You matched the colors of the Altenew inks and the DOX inks perfectly and colored with them so beautifully!
