Welcome back to The Flower Challenge. For the next month, we are asking you to use embellishments on your floral creations, and just to make it a little more fun, we would also like to see a die cut.
I’m not really big on embellishments, as you can see by my card, so I just added a few gold blobs (technical term) from Pink Fresh Studio and a little die-cut butterfly coloured with watercolor ink markers to my Sunflower Border press plate image.
I’m having problems with WordPress, and it won’t, for some reason, let me make my photo any smaller, so please forgive the HUGENESS .
Here’s a second attempt, also coloured with watercolour markers and a few more of those gold blobs.
We do hope you will join us at The Flower Challenge, and if you need inspiration, then my team mates have used embellishments galore, very tastefully, I might add, so why not pop on over.
I’m away at the moment, so fingers crossed WordPress delivers on time.
Take care
Marie

your pictures came through just fine on my tablet. Love these two classic black-and-white cards with the pop with yellow love that second one especially!
Both cards are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Marie! I love the image you used and keeping most of it black & white with just a POP of color really makes these stand out cards! Love your gold “blobs” too! Lovely, lovely cards my friend. Hugs. :0)
Thank you so much Marcia
LOve your black and white with the little yellow bug – I would have been happy to call him an embellishment! lol
Beautiful with the additional yellow flowers, too, Marie!
Ahhhh the joys of technology!

Beautiful pair of cards. I love the.pops.of yellow & gold
Thank you Deborah
Both cards are absolutely beautiful, Marie! I really love the first one with only the little butterfly for the pop of color. Little gold blobs – you made me laugh. I don’t use embellishments often either, but yours are perfectly placed and look fabulous.
Thank you so much Stef
I actually prefer larger photos so I can see the detail, Marie. The border press plate is fabulous whether left in black and white or with a little color and the butterfly is a great embellishment.
