The Flower Challenge #107 - Reminder

Hello, friends!  I do hope you don't mind... you see I loved that gift so much, I decided to use it for my reminder card, too!  SO pretty in purple which is the name of the game this month for The Flower Challenge!


Instead of watercoloring, I stamped them in black ink, and added color
using the coordinating stencils from Altenew's Flutter & Bloom!


My friend Marcia keeps me well-stocked in embossed panels!
I just grab a handful of panels from home and rifle through her EF stash until I find
a few that I don't own.  A bit of mindless embossing makes it easy to keep chatting! 
I think this grey is stunning with my purple blooms
 - and a sentiment pulled from my snippets was also stamped in grey so
it made finishing my card really quick!

Speaking of quick - get those floral stamps out quickly!  You have plenty of
time to make some purple-floral cards and get them planted in our gallery!
You HAVE to see the ways my teamies have used purple!

Another beauty Michele and I love the soft ink blended blooms against that gray embossed background...lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0) (Had to chuckle that the embossed background was from one of my ef's...do you think I have too much that I don't even remember what I do have??!! Hahahaha!!!)

The purples against your "go to" gray is the perfect pairing, together with the subtle embossing. Love how it all came together--sheer perfection!

You can play with these purple flowers as often as you like and they'll always be beautiful! Love them on the gray and, BTW, it sounds like so much fun to while away some chatty time with Marcia's embossing folders!
