Hello friends! The Flower Challenge is back for November and our theme this month is Thanks.
Such an appropriate theme for November in the US, when we celebrate Thanksgiving. However, your floral thanks card needn't be related to that holiday, as you can see by my card.
I started out by die cutting all the flower petals and leaves from Altenew's Garden Cosmos die set. I knew I wanted to create a teal background, so I thought orange tips on the flowers would go well with it. While the inking dried, the panel was embossed with the Textured Tiles folder then trimmed down to 4 " x 5.25". I used a couple of dark teal inks around the edges and over certain parts of the raised background, then adhered it to the white card base.
The sentiment was created from a very old Pinkfresh Studios die set. I used the orange ink pad direct to paper to keep things "matchy-matchy" then with the sentiment. It was adhered to the card front with thin foam square, then I added the flowers to arch around it, using the same foam squares behind the flowers and the bud. No gems this time.
Thanks for visiting! My teammates have some gorgeous inspiration for you on the challenge blog, so I encourage you to take a peek before heading off to your crafty space! We'd love to have you join us with your floral thanks card this month! The challenge will be open until Tuesday, November 25th.
Take care!
