Altenew May 2021 Inspiration Challenge - take two!

What does a girl do with extra flowers?  She makes another card!

May 2021 Inspiration Challenge, enter take two - with a bit more blue!

This particular blue comes from a paper pack from 

Altenew's Celebrations Paper set, cut with their Rounded Rectangles dies.

I've taken a different tilt for my Climber Flowers die today - 

inspired by those sweet hanging umbrellas in Virginia's photo!

You'll spot that Dotted Swirls debossing here again - 

I should get a commission, right?

Topped it off with just a smattering of PF jewels*, but saving

it for a sentiment later on, as needed.

A very quick card when you start with a finished bloom!

Hope you've had a good week so far - thanks for stopping by today!

Thank you, Altenew!

For the love of Poinsettias

Alright - we all know I might have a problem - never did I imagine it would include Poinsettias!  Just when I was having a playful day with my newest Altenew 3D Poinsettia dies, along comes an email from Altenew for a new Creativity Inspired contest!  What have I got to lose?  SO I'm getting WILD with Washi!

Here's my card:

Here's how it began:  with a wide roll of their gorgeous Painted Fantasy floral washi, adhered to 80# cardstock, then die cut with the Poinsettia dies.

After arranging the layers, my Poinsettia was adhered to a thin frame of Woodgrain Bark cardstock, then onto my card base - made from Spicy Yogurt cardstock that has been debossed with another favorite: 

Dotted Swirls cover plate.  Here's a closeup:

A few Altenew enamel dots, and Bob's your Uncle!

OH! that sweet little sentiment is from another Altenew Poinsettia - you'll see more

of that on November 1st - wink!

That's it for me - wish me luck!  and thank you for stopping by!

CAS[E] this Sketch #391

 Oh that Donna Mikasa ... she really knows what ticks my boxes!

Take a peek at CTS391:

Imagine the possibilities, then come play along, won't you?  My little card started with just two inks, a new to me PTI Fall Florals set.

And ended in this glorious CAS goodness, complete with my favorite Dotted Swirls!  [which has been in stock, and out again, quicker than I could type these words!]

Don't adjust your screens, this card was made using Bristol card, which isn't quite as white... I'm okay with that as long as it all matches!

So.  Where did your imagination take you?  We can't wait to see!  Let's run by CTS to see all the goodness from my teammates...
