ColourQ #229, WP9 - Trend Watch and The Card Concept #4


So happy it is Saturday...so far I have one card to share for the day and it is for this week's challenge over at ColourQ #229, the colors are just amazing, they scream spring to me and The Card Concept #4, there theme is floral and WP9 - Trend Watch...gotta love these sweet little flowers. My card would fit into the "layered and clean" category.  I pulled out Fresh Cut Floral's from WP9 and thought they would work so well with these colors and both challenges...plus a few sequins and there you have it! Thank you so much for stopping by...have a wonderful weekend.







my sweetie went fishing yesterday and caught this 45 inch sturgeon....can't wait to bite into this!

  16. Oh dear, I did it again! I forgot to tell you thanks for sharing your gorgeous card with us over at the Card Concept Challenge! (must have been the big fish that totally distracted me!)

  17. Holy cow--I don't know which is more amazing--your stunning card or that humungous fish Dwight caught. Well, since it is your blog and not Dwight's, I'll say that the card has knocked my socks off. This is one of my favorite cards you have ever done, and probably the prettiest card I've yet seen with those WPlus9 florals. Pinning this one and checking to see if those challenges are still open--you've gotten me inspired to pull out those stamps.
