Welcome back to a new month at The Flower Challenge. This time around, we are asking you to use heat or dry embossing on your floral projects.
While recovering from surgery, I bought a few sets of dies and stamps, and one of my favourites is this gorgeous peony from Memory Box, coloured with Distress Oxides. I added a little clear embossing to the leaves and petals, unfortunately, it isn’t very clear from the photo. I used an ancient die from Spellbinders to cut out an aperture, which I then embossed using the Scribbled Letter embossing folder also from Spellbinders.
We hope you’ll join in the fun at The Flower Challenge. The design team has created some amazing floral cards to delight and inspire.
Hopefully, when this is published, I will be away at my summer home, having my first swim of the year. I’m only allowed 15 minutes per day for the first couple of weeks, but rest assured, I will be doing a lot of paddling, weather permitting.
I’m linking up to A Cut Above, who are asking us to use at least one die cut on our project
Beautiful Blossoms #29 Anything Floral with Optional Mood Board
Wishing you all a fabulous week

Oh wow what a lovely view and how wonderful to have the cabin to enjoy throughout the Summer! Lucky you! Your card is just stunning! I love the bright beautiful layered flower with the popped up leaves behind it! The texture gives it another dimension as well! Enjoy your lovely holiday my friend!
Thank you so much Vicki for your sweet words
Gorgeous card, Marie! Clean and so elegant with that beautiful die cut peony colored to perfection. Love that you embossed the cut out base for the flower too. Thanks for sharing with the June Challenge at A Cut Above.
Thank you so much Vicki
Such a beautiful design, I can see why you ‘needed’ this bloom, it’s divine! I also did a little shopping while I was on holiday, it kinda made me feel like I was doing some crafting (wink). ps loving your Summer view!
Fabulous colouring on your flower Marie! Hope you have a great time away x
You’ve created a stunning card, Marie! The peony is spectacular and I love your creative design with the embossing of the aperture die cut. Nice view from your summer spot – that alone should help speed your recovery!
A gorgeous card Marie, I love how you layered the leaves, a lovely die too. Beautiful colouring too.
What a stunning view and gorgeous seating on your balcony. Me jealous? Nah! How could I be, here in the UK with it pouring with rain! Hoping your recovery is progressing well Hugs. x
The shading on your peony is amazing, Marie. What a gorgeous flower!!!
