Florals For You

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Colorful Options // SEPT2024 ...A monthly color challenge!!  For the month of September we are to use BOLD COLORS!!  You know those deep, rich colors!!  I picked Rich Razzleberry, Misty Moonlight, and Mossy Meadow a trio of rich, bold, and vibrant colors!! (actually this combo was given CAS Colours & Sketches team but I forgot the card needed to be CAS).  I did use the left over, dabbed off piece to make a clean and simple card...you can see it here!!

Inspire.Create.Challenge // #ICC176 ...A theme challenge!!  FLORALS is the theme for this current challenge.  I love this floral embossing folder and this challenge was a great place to showcase it.

INKspirational Challenges // #IC324 ...A "designer's choice" challenge!!  Nonni's choice for this challenge is "make your mark".  I used my aqua painter and inks for making my mark.

TicTacToe Challenges // #tttc256 ...A tic-tac-toe game board challenge!!  My winning three in a row runs down the left side of the board.  Spring/Fall (spring flowers in fall colors), embossing (floral embossing folder), and layers (mulitple layers of card stock and designer papers) for the win!!

A Floral Thank You

 

4 challenges inspired today's card...

Inspired.Create.Challenge // #ICC176 ...A theme challenge!!  The theme for this current challenge is FLORALS!!  How about some water color florals!!

CAS Colours & Sketches // #544 ...A color challenge!! Misty Moonlight, Mossy Meadow, and Blackberry Bliss!!  This watercolor floral is second "watercolor" print from the card I am posting on Monday.  I actually made Monday's card for this color challenge and it wasn't until I had it finished and was photographing it that I realized this color combo was for a CAS challenge given my CAS Colours & Sketches...but my card wasn't CAS!!  So...I used the inked leftover piece that I had from dabbing Monday's card, and used it to make today's CAS card!!

INKspirational Challenges // #IC324 ...A designers choice challenge!!  Nonni's choice for this challenge is to MAKE A MARK!! I did just that with my dabbed lefter water color piece of florals.  I added some additional "MARKS" using a fine tipped marker.  I love how it turned out even though this was created from a leftover piece!

Addicted to Stamps & More // #ATS&M476 ...A "make your mark" challenge!!  Two make your mark challenges that came out just days apart from each other.  A watercolor leftover print along with some fine tip markers is how I left my mark for this challenge!!
