It was a sad day in blog land when The Flower Challenge announced it will
close its doors at the end of the year. Kudos to Karren for taking over running
going through floral withdrawal.
I'm entering the last challenge with the theme to Use Christmas Florals.
I know we think of poinsettias as a Christmas flower and I own a few poinsettia
stamps and dies but couldn't decide on which one to use. So I went with snowdrops
after Googling to see if they were considered a winter flower and was quite pleased
to read that they are.
to read that they are.
was much easier and faster to assemble. As luck would have it, I had an inked
and spattered panel that I was probably going to use in landscape format.
I turned the panel and adhered the flowers and leaves on top and spattered
more "snow" over the panel. I finished off the card with the sentiment and
iridescent sequins.
So here's to The Flower Challenge and their design team members, old and
new, for all the inspiration you provided. We'll miss you!
Never thought of Snowdrops as a Christmas flower, but it totally works Donna and I am in LOVE with your card! I will definitely be remembering to use my Snowdrop dies at Christmas and the Winter season from now on...thanks for the inspiration!! I love your background panel and that perfect sentiment too! Lovely, lovely card my friend and thanks so much for sharing with us at The Flower Challenge!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteDonna, every Winter, I ask myself why in the world did I forget to plant snowdrops AGAIN!! I'm reminded how beautiful they are looking at your pretty card - such a brilliant way to use that inked panel!
