Lisa is our host for Just us Girls #823 and she has chosen a wonderful noun for their Word Week: Flowers! I just so happened to have a brand-spankin'-new Altenew Flourished Flora in my hot little hands! Thanks, Lisa! Now let's hope I remember to link and share!
This is a 6-stencil set that took a little bit of shifting and planning to bring together but
in the end, I couldn't love it more! You might notice that I did a 'no-line' look in the photo
above but soon decided that stamping those lines would really bring out some of the
fantastic details on this stamp. Here are the [many] inks used - I over-stamped the
outline using the darkest of the blues from the Altenew Tranquility set: Dark Night.
I treated myself to the coordinating dies and after cutting discovered just how huge this image is! A wee bit of surgery was required to make it fit on a 5 x 7" card!!
Isn't that wavy embossing great? Spellbinders: Summertime Waves.
It was a great time pulling together all those colors!
Okay... I'm going right now to get this one in the JUGS#823 gallery!
Thanks for spending a bit of your weekend at my place!

Just gorgeous Michele and I like both versions equally! That's a lot of shades of color and must have been a lot of work, but well worth it! What a beautiful card! Thanks for playing at JUGS with flowers!
So happy you remembered to link this little beauty up to our gallery, Michele! That's a great new set you have. I like it stamped and unstamped in those marvelous colors. Thanks for sharing it with us at Just Us Girls!
This is gorgeous Michele. I love the colors and that big floral image looks great on the wavy embossed tan background.
Just fabulous! That is such an elegant floral arrangement and the colors are beautiful. That embossing folder is wonderful!
Stunning! Absolutely, blow-my-socks-off stunning, dear Friend! You are absolutely correct, the blue outline is wonderful. So wonderful.
Another fabulous floral card! Thanks for sharing at JUGS
WOW...the flowers, the colors, the wavy background...I love it all Michele! BEAUTIFUL card!! Hugs. :0)
What a glorious bouquet, Michele! I love the combination of colors and the wavy background shows the flowers off beautifully!
Gorgeous stenciled flowers Michele. This bouquet is filled to the brim with beautiful flowers, and stenciling it wouldn't be easy. You did great work. The colours you choose are just perfect. Love the stamping to show all the detail was a good decision. The kraft embossed background compliments the bouquet. xx
The colors really pop against that brown wavy background, Michele. I do find that I prefer the outline most of the time and going with Dark Night was a good choice. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at Just Us Girls.
A gorgeous bouquet Michele! So many beautiful colours to bring it to life. I great seeing the difference the black outline makes. Love it! Have a good week!! :)
Oh my, this is such a beauty Michele, I adore your choice of colors and your wrists will thank you for the coordinating die lol. Hugs x
Lovely colors in your blooms and fabulous back drop to showcase them.
Wowie, that is one gorgeous stamp and detailed stenciling! Beautifully done, Michele! With or without the outline it's amazing. The surgery you performed is so flawless it took me a while to figure out where the excision took place. This stamp is large and in charge! Such a versatile embossing folder, too. I love it all!
Beautiful! I eyed that myself and realized how huge it was so it's in the wish list for now. You've done it wonderfully with all those gorgeous colors.
Wow, you pulled those colors together beautifully and your wavy background highlights them too! I hope we'll be seeing those blooms again!
P.S. Love both but the no line version is *chef's kiss*
This is drop dead gorgeous. LOVE the colors and I do love both versions. I also love the 5x7 size.
