It’s the midway point at The Flower Challenge, and we have some fresh inspiration for our Sketch challenge, which I hope will get your creative juices flowing.

Although I struggled with my first card, this one came together more easily.

The floral die, embossing folder, and dotted circle are from Spellbinders. In fact, the dotted circle is a glimmer plate, which I used as a die. Once again, the “gold blobs” are courtesy of Pinkfresh Studio, and the sentiment is Altenew.

We do hope you can join in the fun at The Flower Challenge and look forward to seeing your lovely creations. My teammates have once again outdone themselves, so why not pop on over and take a peep?

Once again, I will be in the air when this post goes live. I’m heading back to the UK to see my mum, who unfortunately isn’t doing very well healthwise; she has dementia and is in a care facility. We lost my dad a few years ago to Altzheimers’s, such a terrible illness, and I’m so far away, so please forgive my lack of commenting once again.

Wishing you all a fantastic week

take care

Welcome back to The Flower Challenge. This month, we are asking you to use our sketch.

To be honest, trying to follow a sketch is my crafting nightmare, but thank goodness this one wasn’t too complicated, although it did give me some trouble; I finally managed to get there in the end!

Altenew came to my rescue with this super striped floral die and sentiment. I used several layers of black cardstock for both, although you wouldn’t know it from the photo; then I matted it onto white and black paper, easy peasy.

We do hope you will play along with us this month at The Flower Challenge. The rest of the design team has once again outdone themselves. We will be back on the 15th of the month with more inspiration.

In other news, I’ve been neglecting my blog of late. I’m still making cards, but have been inundated with orders and don’t have time to do both, so commenting on your wonderful creations has fallen by the wayside. It’s also incredibly hot, so any free time I get, I’m spending in the sea or swimming pool.

Hopefully normal service will be resumed soon…

I’m linking up to Sparkles Forum Challenge who are asking us to make something clean and simple

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend.

Take care
