No! That's not a distress signal!! [In fact, we've yet to lower the canoe from the rafters] It's raining kitties and puppies: a very gentle but steady rain which we needed so I'm not complaining one bit!
Marcia is the host with the most over at Color Hues #108 and while we did a little texting this morning, I pulled down my newest blues and got to work! Hope she likes my blue and yellow creation!
I adore the 'seersucker' look of my Altenew Rustic Linen embossing folder, so it was easy to use it as a backdrop for these blue and yellow 'poppies' from Concord & 9th's Paper Posies set - the stamen from their Primrose Garden. My 'cheers' comes from Altenew, too.
I am normally not a fan of blue, but this blue makes me very happy. So do Blue Poppies: they're real just google them!
How accommodating for Just us Girls to have their 'die week' premier today, too! Since I have indeed used a flower or two, I will share this card with them happily!
Thanks for dropping by!

You happily shared them with us at JUGs and we happily accept! You might not be a fan of blue, but you've done quite well with it here! This is fabulous, Michele!
Now how could I not like a card that's as bright and happy as this blue & yellow card Michele! I love the blue you used and that background is always perfect...just like the BEAUTIFUL Poppies! This whole card makes me smile, so thank you for making my color pairing SHINE my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Beautiful in the shades of blue (my favorite color). Love the pretty posies.
Blue and yellow have never looked so good! I still did not break out my C&9th Posies--I'll just admire yours for a while. ;)
What a cheerfilled card, Michele. You've chosen a happy blue with sunny yellows. Wonderful card. Happy weekend to you!
This is a beautiful shade of blue, Michele, and I love that you used all embossed for the whole background! A beautiful way to show off these pretty blooms! That little pop of yellow is icing on this cake! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Color Hues!
That blue color is gorgeous! Another (so fabulous) card. Love those flowers too. Thanks for sharing at JUGS AND, being such a loyal player 😀
Michele, I love your colors and that embossing folder too! What a great flower die card for our challenge at JUGS! Thanks so much for playing!
Oh, the wonderful texture and popping happy colors! Just let me drink it all in. Those flowers are so much fun! I felt the first sprinkles when I went out this morning. I enjoyed several days of sunshine and now we could use the rain.
Michele... action-packed texture!! I feel like the Fast & Furious but everything works. Really loving the background EF. Really the dimension is amazing on those flowers. You know I love that you always grow my wish list when you play at Just Us Girls. BTW... Carol sent me a note that C&9 posted on the die I used this week...that if you start in the bottom left, the pieces will fall into place. She had trouble too. THANKS for the inspiration as always.
Such wonderful texture on this one and those colours are great. I shall enjoy looking at all the entries to this challenge. Glad you have some rain, we need some now too xx
Just beautiful, Michele! Love the blues and yellow, and all that glorious texture -- I'm in ❤ 💕
I'm not a fan of blue either, Michele, except in card making and that background is a gorgeous shade. (Can you believe that I have my card ready for them and used the same embossing folder?) The texture on the flowers is fabulous and those stamens are fun. They remind me of crepe papers flowers we used to make. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
This is absolutely stunning Michele!!! I actually like blues so this really caught my attention. The texture is fabulous. I own this folder but have only used it on white cardstock which isn't nearly so dramatic. Just beautiful! Thanks for playing with us at Color Hues!
Love all that texture!!! Thank you for remembering me on my birthday, you ARE the sweetest!!!!!!
How could Marcia not enjoy this beautiful card?? The poppies are lovely in white and blue. Love all the wonderful texture you've achieved on this card.
This is such a gorgeous card to start off our gallery, Michele. I love the bold blooms and that texture! As always happy to have you with us at Color Hues. Send some rain while you are at it, we are in a drought!
Jaw droppingly beautiful. I love the bold blues so dramatic and enhanced by those gorgeous blooms and the texture is fabulous.I'm in love x

Bold and beautiful my friend, loving all that fabulous texture!
Michele, I'm not sure if there is enough room here to type all of the wows I want to send to you! This is amazing, loive the bold blue and those so unqiue flowers. Gorgeous car. Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Color Hues!
That embossing folder is such a favorite of mine, and you have worked wonders with Marcia's colors. Lovely, lovely card.
You take “Singing the Blues” to a whole new level! Wow!
Beautiful! Love all the dimension and added background texture! Thank you so much for playing along with us over at the Color Hues Challenge!
