I'm interrupting my Christmas-card-making session to do a little stenciling for Just us Girls!
I brought out a favorite from Altenew called Blooming Delight and changed up my color combo from THIS card. I do love orange and pinks together - and love that they've thought to leave some 'white space' with this design.
You'll no doubt spot Altenew's Geo Steps embossing in the background, but
I've snipped the very large floral piece to fit the front of my A2 card and tucked in
the snipped bits - waste not, want not!
Here are my chosen inks today:
Thanks, Bobby!
I woke to the most wonderful rain this morning and found Tom on the front porch filming his first Monarch changing to a chrysalis - you can watch it HERE! It never gets old - it takes a bit of time, but he has sped up the video 4x!
Your kind words and visits here never get old either - or do I take them for granted! Thanks so much, my friends!

Hellllloooo, gorgeous! This looks amazing in your color combo, Michele! Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Just us Girls and thanks for sharing Tom's cool video!
These are such amazing stencils and make for such outstanding cards! It helps that you know how to use the stencil correctly 😀. Thanks for joining in at JUGS.
Those flowers are so big and beautiful, Michele. Nine inks? Wow! No wonder they look so good. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at Just Us Girls.
Both color combos are stunning and your stenciling brings them to life. And I'm looking forward to seeing the caterpillar transformation, too!
Definitely a WOW card Michele!! I love pink & orange together too and also the white space Altenew left on the blooms...sooooo pretty!! Love the embossed green background too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! P.S. I showed Isaiah Tom's video this morning and after very intently watching it, he ran to the bookshelf to get The Very Hungry Caterpillar...too cute!! Hugs. :0)
Beautiful blossoms again! Your card is amazing with the embossed background and the layout too
I love this card, the layering, the colors and the way you left white in the pedals. It's just so pretty.
I used to make cards all the time but put card making on the back burner. Lately I started back making cards for friends, now they all look forward to getting a handmade card.
You dear blogging sister are an inspiration, thank you.
Wow! What a beautiful dynamic card. I love the colours you are a master of colour combinations. Love the big bold flower and the fantastic texture on the base.

Such a pretty card, Michele! And Tom's video was fascinating. You two are the tops!
What an amazing color combo. This card is gorgeous! Purple and orange is so pretty together, then add the golden background and you are left with a stunning masterpiece. I also wanted to say thanks so much for the birthday card you sent. Just as beautiful and sweet as can be!
This is stunning! Love the bright colors.
Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog post (Jul 26), I used torn paper as mask in the background.
The bright flowers are wonderful against that textured backdrop! Only you can make purple and orange work together! In another life you probably worked in the diplomatic corps!
Gorgeous card and enjoyed the video!
Just lovely. I am glad you included the bits you snipped off, it adds interest xx
This is so bright and pretty, Michele! The colors blend so well together! Thanks for the link to the Monarch. Our Swallowtails are finally coming around. Seems they were late this year.
Gorgeous colours on these beautiful flowers Michele! Love the subtle background. Love it! :) x
Michele... you and your amazing floral. Gorgeous as always! Thanks for sharing this beauty with Just Us Girls.
Gorgeous! The white space makes all the difference. Love these colors and the amazing stenciling. It hardly even looks like stenciling and I know it has a lot to do with your touch and the color blend. Fantastic! I watched Tom's video, too. I'm always in awe of nature. Thank you!
Fabulous card Michele. The color choices are very eyecatching.
Stunning card Michele!!! I couldn't pick a favorite between the one for this challenge and the one you linked...you are so talented. I am going to look at the products you used because...how couldn't I be enabled by these cards! Thanks so much for playing at JUGS with your stencils!
Sigh... these blooms are divine! And yesvi did see tom's video... Amazing!
This is absolutely gorgeous. The color combo is breathtaking.
