The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #15 - Mar/Apr 2024

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Friday!  We made it through another week, wow this month is flying by.  It's time for a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog.  This month, the challenge team is collaborating with The Double Trouble Challenge from today through the 31st of March, so you'll want to pop over and play along in their Spring Florals Challenge as well.


Now, on to the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge for this month.  Our Optional Mood Board contains my favorite color, along with some gorgeous florals.  This mood board is optional, provided for inspiration.

For my team project, I've used the Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Daffodil Layering Die Set.  I love layering die sets, they are usually fairly simple to put together and they provide so much dimension to your project.


For my card, I've embossed the background with a Basket Weave pattern, using a folder from Darice,  I've ink blended a light shade of Catherine Pooler lilac ink in the bottom corner, getting lighter as I went up the side and into the middle.


For the die cut daffodils, I've used colored card stock along with glitter card for the tips of the flowers.  The taller flower head has been popped on foam pads, and the pre-foiled sentiment is from a pack by Pink Fresh Studio.  I've not added my usual bells and whistles, I thought the card was good without anything extra.

Please join us at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.  We would love to see your Floral Focused projects, and also check out The Double Trouble Challenge this month also.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Inspiration Station Challenge - Inspired by a Flower Shop

Hello and Happy Monday!  Today begins a new bi-weekly challenge round at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog and the inspiration photo is the inside of a Flower Shop:


I will admit this challenge was an easy one for me as I love to create floral cards and own loads of floral images and die sets. For my team project, I was inspired by the colors of orange and yellow in this photo and used the Altenew Craft-A-Flower Daffodil layering die set to create my card.


I've slowly been using up, and not purchasing any more, colored card stocks with the plan I will create colored cardstocks as I need them with inks.  That's what I did in the case; I used Catherine Pooler Inks to create the colored card layers for the daffodils.


The focal panel was cut using the Altenew Cube Cover Die and adhered flat to the card base.  The flowers were assembled using liquid adhesive with the flower centers popped on craft foam for dimension.  I covered the floral centers and petal tips with Wink of Stella.

The sentiment was heat embossed on vellum, adhered to the card using enamel dots to hide the adhesive, with additional dots added to visual interest.

That completes my card for the challenge.  Please visit us at The Inspiration Station Challenge, we would love to see how the inspiration photo inspired you.  Also,  the prize this round is a lovely Die Set from Spellbinders - the Kerria Japonica Flower Set.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
