Orange Flowers!

 Hello and thank you for visiting me!  A bright and cheerful card today.

The flower and butterfly stamps are from Sentimentally Yours and were stamped in black Versafine Clair and embossed with clear powder.  The butterfly is stamped on a snippet of card as well as the panel then glued on top of the stamped image.  The colouring is done with Sentimentally Yours Watercolour brush pens and the die which looks like wood along with the 'Hi', are from a set by Waffle Flower called Message Boards.  They were cut from snippets of card.  I added lots of stickles for sparkle.




I would like to enter the following challenges:

Pixies's Snippets playground - Use Snippets.

Darnell's NBUS Challenge - Never Before Used Schtuff - Mine are the flower, butterfly and  Message Board die set.

The Flower Challenge - Circle/Circles - There are circles in my flowers.

We Love Chocolate Baroque - Anything Goes.

Make my Monday Challenge - Orange as dominant colour.


Well, it looks like the Covid numbers are going up here in the UK.  Not good at all!  They are not as high here in the Bournemouth area as in some other parts of the country but are the highest in the South.  Hopefully they will remain under control.  I am still staying firmly indoors and staying safe!  Although I am off to have a flu jab tomorrow and had  to go to the dentist earlier in the week but apart from that not going anywhere.  


Anyway, please look after yourselves - take care and stay safe!  Hugs Christine xxx

Love your card in autumnal warm colors! The doodled look of the flowers and the butterfly matches with the fun and happy card design! Thank you so much for playing along with our birthday challenge at The Flower Challenge!

What beautiful bright and happy Sunflowers Chris, they always bring a smile to your face, it's lovely to see you at We Love Chocolate Baroque, thanks so much for joining us.

Same as you staying home, also went for a flu jab and a back took extraction but both were quick trips and will admit I didn't feel compromised.

Such a happy card Chris, the sunflowers are gorgeous, I love it!

Sadly, we are half in medium and half in high in our postcode and numbers are very high. Like you, we are staying put! Keep safe and well my friend. Hugs, Anne xxx

Yes, the Covid numbers are going up like crazy here in the U.S., too, but no surprise with so many inconsiderate people not following the requirements. Now they are finally starting to catch it and, sadly, passing it on to innocent people. So frustrating, so you can imagine how seeing your bright and cheerful card was just the tickity-boo for me today, Chris! It's fun, too, and I love the whimsical flower centers and all the schparkle! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Keep on keeping in and staying safe! Hugs, Darnell

Now how did I nearly manage to miss this gorgeous sunny card. Brightened up my morning cup of ☕️ no end. Love you colouring. Me too not gone anywhere other than dentist, optician and hairdressers where they are all kitted up. Park in car parks that are not directly in town but within a 20min walking distance and use the back streets and not the high street . Still managed to get a darn tummy bug though. Hugs Mrs A.
