The Flower Challenge #81 Reminder

 

It's me stopping by to remind you that you have plenty of time to add your favorite to The Flower Challenge #81!

I did a massive reorganization in my craft studio recently and found another Altenew Tulip that hasn't been given enough attention - I fixed that today!  You won't believe it: I used blue!  a greyed-down shade from Altenew's Tranquility set combined with their old faithful Green Fields set of greens and of course a little grey!


I unapologetically used one of the gorgeous examples from their packaging/stamping guide with a little twist of my own by embossing [SU Subtle Texture] just the top of my panel before adding these fabulous Build-a-Flower Triumph Tulips.

Okay!  There are lots of gorgeous reminders from my teammates and our guest Christine, too!
Don't wait another second... go!  then MAKE!  lol - thanks for stopping by!

Why does it not surprise me that you found a tulip stamp (wink). Ps I'm glad you did, your card is divine!

Oh goodness, this is gorgeous Michele! I am loving those tulips, kinda looking like parrot tulips, but maybe not. LOL I was a bit shocked that you used blue, but you used beautiful shades of blue! Love the addition of the gray too. Just gorgeous! Now, I believe you told me to enter my card since it had flowers on it and I totally forgot! I am guess it is too late since I've posted two days ago. I don't remember things! Hugs, Brenda

I am loooooooving this card Michele. Your colour choice is certainly different but does it pack a punch for those beautiful tulips. The placement and overall layout is just stunning. Eye candy at it's best.

Gorgeous card! You are the master at wonderfully effective use of background embossing folders! It's so subtle, but so effective. Congrats on your reorganization. First, because that is quite the feat, but second it helped you create this beauty! Crafty hugs!

Super special! I love these colours!

How lovely!

Bobby said...

Whether your sentiment speaks to the recipient or the lovely blue tulips, it's spot on, Michele. I've never seen blue tulips so I googled them and they are a thing. None more beautiful than yours.

Donna Mikasa said...

What an amazing shade of blue!

TK said...

The flowers are as gorgeous as the sentiment! While blue may have taken you outside your box, you pulled it all together magnificently! Your Subtle folder is one of those I WISH I would've purchased - it just fits so many uses!

Linda Callahan said...

This is gorgeous on so many levels! I am loving the blue flowers! And how many hours did you reorganize?!?! Once I start it is like going down the rabbit hole!

Stef Perry said...

So smart to combine the blues with your fav gray, Michele, the result is nothing short of stunning! So glad you found these tulips during your reorg!

Leslie Miller said...

I love this shade of blue. Beautiful card!
