The Flower Challenge #67 Reminder : Add a heart

 

Welcome back to The Flower Challenge. It's the midway point in our current  challenge which is....

So this month we would like to see you  'Add a Heart' on your cards, as well as the usual FLOWERS of course too. If in any doubt see the examples made by our talented Design Team at The Flower Challenge

 It can be large or small...or even a heart shaped card...you decide...just make sure to add one somewhere on your card. 

For this card I have embossed the background with a heart 3D embossing folder. I cut the panel to the size I wanted the card to be and attached to a pale blue cardbase.

After going through my collection of coloured flowers I decided to use these cuties from MFT stamps. Some from a stamp called Fancy Flowers which look like they are no longer available which is a shame, I think they are amazing. They are the larger blooms. The next row down are also from MFT but for the life of me and all the searches I did I couldn't find the set. sorry

I then finished off the card with the Happy Everything die cut from holographic card stock and vellum layer behind.

So now its time to go see what the team has been up to and think about adding a card or two yourself.

The Flower Challenge #67 Add a Heart

So this month we would like to see you 'Add a Heart' to your cards, as well as the usual FLOWERS of course too.  It can be large or small...or even a heart shaped card...you decide...just make sure to add one somewhere on your card.

We are adding our own heart again here to show support for Ukraine.

Our prayers go out to all those affected by this terrible war.

Our Guest Designer this month is the fabulous Esther Asbury from Shoregirl's creations who was also our winner for February last year. Do check out her blog/Instagram if you have a minute as she makes such fabulous cards.

This is my card for the challenge. I coloured the roses with my palest blues and the edges in pale pink/mauve.

I love how it turned out. This stamped image is from The Ton called Country Rose Cluster

I then decided to cut the panel with a heart die from Poppy Stamps but on search I couldn't find it there. I did however find it available at  Scrap 'N Stamp. I love the way the lines come out from each side of the heart. I cut three times so I could layer it up. I was worried it was a bit camouflaged by the flowers but when looking through my other die cuts I found this wonder Heart cluster from Stamplorations cut in silver mirror cardstock and it was a perfect fit over the original heart.

So happy with the end result.

Last time I spoke to you all I mentioned my son was getting married 18th March. Well the wedding had to be postponed due to Covid hitting the household. My son Aaron, his future wife Rachael and both children were confirmed by 5am the day of the wedding. Another grandson was confirmed on the Sunday.They are all now much better and no one got long Covid so that is a blessing.

A new date is set for May 12th. Keep your fingers crossed, third time lucky.
