The Flower Challenge #99 February 2025 Feature the Colour Pink

 


Well hello there, and welcome back to the Flower Challenge.
This month we're featuring the color pink.



The Sweet Pea die from Spellbinders caught my eye for this month's challenge.
Haven't used this 3-D die in a while. 
Once the pieces are cut, they're 'formed' with a tool onto foam to produce
 the curl. Such a fun card to create.

The Flower Challenge 2 Reminder Add Sparkle

 


Welcome back to a reminder for The Flower Challenge: Add Sparkle
'Tis the season for all things glitz,  and our cards sparkle and shine a bit more
during  this magical season!


I used the same Sizzix poinsettia die as on my last card, just used  the  reverse
die cuts.


This card will need it's own specially made envelope, as the greenery climbs 
up over the boundaries!

Play along until the 25th. 
Hope to see your sparklies in the lineup!

Some of the Greetery's holiday release. Don't you just love the fireside irons?
Every detail brings the image to life. From the seat cushions and studs on the
armchair, to  the  brickwork  on the fireplace... all makes the card special!

The Flower Challenge 2 Add a Stencil

 


It's  reminder time, folks and The Flower Challenge asks for the use of
a stencil for the month of  October.
October! Can you believe it?



I've used a Greetery stamp and stencil, Sketched Wildflower Bouquet, 
and die cut it over my framed image.
The beautiful flower bouquet has a stencil set and die to use 
with the stampset.
Background is The Greetery's Floral Arches.

Hope you add your stenciled beauty to our lineup! 
Remember the challenge ends on the 25th.


I added a little onyx glitter to the flowers. 
Always fun to see your creations!

The Flower Challenge September: Include a Stamped Flower





Hello September! 
We're celebrating stamping  at  The Flower Challenge this month, and you're

I love this shuttered window die, and it's interactive opening. My window
opens to an all  over floral image (the Greetery)


I added stamped Morning Glories (The Greetery), and deepened parts of  the stamping
with  colored pencils.


Finally, the blessings sentiment.  (The Greetery)
