More purple flowers for Altenew Inspiration Challenge July 2023


I've been chasing those sweet purple Anemones that I stamped using my Altenew Stampwheel around my desk for too long!  Purple flowers are purple flowers no matter what the type, right?  I arranged three together and found the perfect stem from another Altenew set: Beautiful Lady - bonus points for finding a sentiment there, too!

From this...


I added a bit more color with Prisma pencils ...


Stamped my stem - masking the flower head...


and voila:

A bit of texture on a white base can't hurt!

Thanks, again Michelle Short, for the purple inspiration this month!

  1. Have I ever mentioned how much I love, LOVE your style Michele??!! This card is absolutely STUNNING!! The centers of your flowers just amaze me with all the color, and I love just the outline of the stem against the stark white (and embossed) background! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

  2. I am so jealous of your talent and yes I know it's a bad thing but I am so it's out there for all to see. Your colouring is exquisite as is the placement and the texture is just right. Another classy and frame-worthy piece of art Michele.

  4. Fabulous use of your supplies to create these beautiful anemones standing tall! I love a textured white base, too. I need to keep that in mind as my embossing folders are piling up unused, sheesh. I need to make some cards!

  5. I love the extra color you added to the centers, Michele. That green really really pops with the orange and purple. That stem was a great discovery and looks wonderful holding up the blossoms.

  9. Those purple blooms with their souped up centers look fantastic on the stem, and yes, the texture in the background is marvelous.
