The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge - May 2026

Hello Friends!  It's time for a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog.  We have a lovely optional inspiration photo, however the challenges are Always Anything FLORAL Goes.  

I was directly inspired by the optional photo of the vase of lovely Lily of the Valley flowers and chose to use the Spring Border Two Digital Stamp Set from Power Poppy for my card.  This set includes a sweet Lily of the Valley image.  Another thing to note - Lily of the Valley is the birth flower for May, along with the Hawthorn. 

This month's optional inspiration photo:

Coloring this image using alcohol markers was quick and easy, the entire card was put together in under 30 minutes.  I used a distressed edge ruler to tear the edges of the focal panel, then inked around it using Salty Ocean Distress Ink.

For additional interest, I popped the sentiment on foam pads; the sentiment is included in the digital set.  I've rounded the bottom corners of the card base using the Crop-a-Dile corner chomper and added mini dew drops from Pink Fresh Studio. 

We invite you to join us this month at the Challenge and remember, you don't have to follow the optional inspiration photo, that's up to you.  However, florals must be the focus of your design.  Hope to see you there!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
