A few more flowers couldn't hurt, could they? A duo of cards using what are considered fall flowers around my neck of the woods. Mums from Alex Syberia Designs to be exact...
My hues of yellow and orange get a little dark - but AT LEAST I didn't
forget NOT to use green! lol
And yes, my friends, all of those little ASD die cut +'s are still sitting on my desk!
I love this deep orange cover panel, don't you? When you've pressed but are
too lazy to die cut, those Betterpress sentiments still make a 'banner'
statement IMHO!
Off to Color Hues #93 then it's back to the laundry - I'll be packing for a little excursion this week with my bestie - on his birthday!!

I thought the first card was excellent, but I love the darker background even more! I also love that banner sentiment. Have fun on your trip! We're at a winery outside Traverse City with friends we met in Europe on a tour. Thanks, as always, for sharing your talent with us at Color Hues!
Your Mums are gorgeous Michele, and I love both backgrounds with the +'s too! They definitely both feel like Fall cards (even though the weather outside doesn't feel like Fall!!) and work perfectly for the colors here at Color Hues! Thanks for joining in again...we always love seeing your creations!! Hugs. :0)
WOW! Gorgeous mums, Michele! And I love the backgrounds, especially the orange one. Like you, I keep those pressed sentiments handy. Love that die cut banner!
That's a good idea with the pressed sentiment. I don't really like die cutting the pressed images as they can lose their pressed look. Your colours are gorgeous xx
The mums are out by the hundreds in our local garden centers, though I'm sure none are as lovely as yours! Two wonderful cards. Enjoy that excursion with the birthday boy. It's going to be a hot week here, hope you have comfortable weather!
These are luscious, Michele!
Two gorgeous cards using our Fall colors, Michele! I love them both equally and really like the banner flag sentiment on card 2. Have a great time with hubby and Happy Birthday to him! Thanks for playing along at Color Hues.
Oh, how mum-licious! Both versions are stunning and I'm so looking forward to hearing about your excursion with Tom!
Gorgeous for fall! Our leaves are starting to turn already - yeow!

Such beautiful cards, Michele. LOVE the colors you chose. So rich. Have a blast with your bestie on his birthday. Happy early Birthday to Tom!
Those are my colors, Michele, and they are gorgeous in Mums. Have a wonderful trip! And HB to Tom!
Gorgeous mums in those colors, Michele! The rust colored leaves are just what these flowers needed. Both backgrounds are fantastic! Have fun on your trip!
Wht a lovely pair of cards, Michele and a perfect lesson in how colour makes such a difference. Those flowers are so gorgeous and I love the autumn feel - it's already getting a bit nippy in my neck of the woods.

These look lovely in fall colours! Hope you have a lovely trip and sending Tom Happy Birthday wishes from across the water!
Thank you for sharing a second card in the CH gallery, Michele! Both cards you made with those mums are exquisite, I especially love the one with the dark background. So gorgeous! I hope you and Tom have a wonderful weekend celebrating his birthday!
Your dark oranges an yellows are so beautiful and Autumn-esque. I love it when it is Mum time. Although today will be near 100 here. I hope you are keeping cool! I love both of your cards.
Your fall flowers are gorgeous, and I especially love the brown leaves with them. Long about the time I'm feeling like I need more white on my cards you go and make the second card with the terracotta base which displays the mums even better. Happy birthday to Tom and I hope you're enjoying your week!
Gorgeous! Love the large blooms! Thank you so much for playing along with Color Hues Color Challenge!
Beautiful! Lovely fall colors and amazing flowers too. I'm not sure what's happened to my feeds, but follow.it has been dropping them of late, so I apologize!
Isn't it amazing how difficult it is NOT to use green on a flower card! Love love love thee gorgeous mums Michele. You card is absolutely so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Color Hues!
