I certainly don't think there can ever be enough florals in my stash! I've added one from Penny Black - I know, I know... you are thinking that resolution was short lived, right? But this one is gorgeous, and I had to play along with Jill's PB&J Sketch #9!
Anything peek-a-booing from the edge of that sweet little curve
would be perfect, right? As is usual, Jill shares three ways in her video.
Here's where I found the resolve to 'make do' this time - I simply cut a curve
and when one was a bit boring, I doubled it!
Adding a bit of texture to the base couldn't hurt either!
There is another gorgeous bouquet in the PB Enchantingly set. Painted as red roses my first go around - perfect for The Paper Players and Ann's theme: Love is in the Air!
See if you can find my inspiration:
Pretty obvious, right?
PB Enchantingly; Sugar Pea Designs: Handwritten Letter; Betterpress sentiment.
Okay, my friends. It's Monday. You know the drill. But GOOD NEWS tomorrow The Flower Challenge is returning!! YAY - I hope you'll all dust off your florals and play along!
Thanks so much, Ann!

Both of these are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Michele! I really love the first one with your homemade curves and embossed background...totally makes your gorgeous blooms stand out!! The 2nd card with the script background is just as lovely and beautifully colored! A duo of loveliness my friend!! Hugs and happy Monday!! :0)
Those double curves were a terrific idea and I like the fancy embossing! I definitely see your inspiration for your second card and I like the way you've colored them. Two pretty cards! Happy laundry day!
Both cards are gorgeous and NO, we can never have too many florals - my favorite kind of cards. Your coloring is beautiful on both cards.
When I grow up I wanna make cards just like you! Stunning work again, Jo x
Beautiful cards, Michele! I love the curves and the embossed background on your first card. The red roses on the second card are colored perfectly. The subtle script background showcases them beautifully. Thank you for playing in my challenge this week at The Paper Players!
Two beauties, Michele!! I'm especially drawn to the design with PB's blooms--you followed the sketch to a T!
You can never have enough flower stamps. I think it is high time I increased the number in my stash. Both these cards are great and I am really enjoying your water colouring. Your curves have worked really well and the first card and the red roses don't need anything else xx
Two beautiful floral cards, Michele. Both these images are so gorgeous, especially with your talented watercolouring. Love the tripling of curves on your first ... so creative and fun. xx
Beautiful, the both of them! I love your curvy card, especially as you created a third curve with colour. But the romantic beauty is just that - no, there can never be too many florals. Thanks for sharing with us again at The Paper Players.
Love the curves! Gorgeous florals!
This set is on my wish list and I LOVE what you've done with it, Michele! I especially love the single yellow rose peeking out! Is that a PB embossing folder? It's a perfect fit and I love your double swoop! The bouquet of red roses is gorgeous too and perfect for Valentine's Day! Can't wait to see what else you got in that order!
Michele, both of these cards are GORGEOUS!!!!! Not enough words to describe how much I love them. Those flower sprays are so beautiful and there are never enough flowers! Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week!
Michele, I thank you for continuing to share the absolutely beautiful cards you share. Your blooms are just lovely. I continued to be awed by your talents!
These are both beautiful, Michele! The background on the yellow one is stunning! BUT the red one is equally so! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Paper Players this week! You KNOW I love seeing you in the gallery!
Two stunning floral beauties Michele. I'm smitten with the first card because there are so many techniques! Gorgeous blooms!
Those flowers are absolutely gorgeous in your watercoloring hands, Michele. Jill might give you the layout but you really know how to work it.
Nope! There is no such thing as too many florals, or I'm in trouble lol. These are glorious Michele... sigh!
Two beautiful cards Michele! I am rather partial to the first one (I do love a yellow rose) but the inspiration for the second one is so on point - bravo! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
Oh, stop(don't stop)! The beauty is too much, I can hardly bear it! Especially the first card -- the colors, the curve, the embossing. I have a thing for curves on cards and have played with them many times, but I love how the flower comes peek-a-booing from within the double curve and, ohhh, did I mention the embossing? One of these days I'll get around to coloring the rest of my new PB stamps. My crafty hands are full at the moment. Thanks for always inspiring, Michele!
Oh, my, what a beautiful duo of floral cards! You outdid yourself on both, Michele! I can see why you caved in and bought that PB rose, it's just stunning. But the red roses are equally beautiful and look lovely atop the script background. Love them both! Thank you so much for playing along at the Paper Players!
