Hello Everyone! Today I am excited to officially join The Flower Challenge Blog team. I've been working behind the scenes on social media for about a month, but today is the first challenge. I am so happy to be joining to celebrate 7 years of challenges!
There are some special guest designers joining to celebrate, but also to say goodbye to Viv and Aileen - the founders of the challenge, who have put in a lot of heart (and cards) for the team. They will be missed!
The theme this month is "Anything Goes" so I am sharing a beautiful card made with layered stencils from Taylored Expressions called Poppy Fields. It was the August stencil gift with purchase. I hadn't had a chance to ink it up yet, but this was a perfect day.
The stencil has four layers, and was so fun to create. Poppies are my favorite flower. I used Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint & Black Soot. The sentiment is from The Greetery. I cut the die a little offset so it would have a shadow effect. My favorite metallic gold thread finished the card with a Mossy Meadow and Basic Black card base.
I hope you will join us and submit your beautiful "Anything Goes" designs. Just remember that flower have to be the main focus (you can read the challenge rules on the blog). And be sure to see what my very talented teammates and guests have created - a very diverse garden to walk in!
The challenge is open until October 25. I will be back on the 15th with another bouquet to celebrate!
