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!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Kim ... so deliciously summery ... it looks just like a freshly cut floral bouquet! What a fish ... well done to your sweetie ... d'you have an oven (or a barbeque) big enough?! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWow. I mean that not only for your pretty floral card...but for that gigantic fish too! I am going to show this pic to my sons who would absolutely kill to fish for something like this! You really combined your floral colors so perfectly...love the little added touch of the black dot in the center...very striking!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, the cluster is perfectly balanced, love it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shades of corals, pinks & golds! The PTI ripe avocado is the perfect green for these colors!
ReplyDeleteCalling my DH (who is a ca-razy obsessed fisherman) to come see this pic. I know he will be wishing it was him holding the sturgeon in the photo!!! Heck, that fish is darn near as tall as I am!!!
Your bouquet of flowers is gorgeous! Your design and colors are perfect!
ReplyDeleteWow that must have been so fun for your DH to catch! I am not sure if I have ever had that kind of fish …..enjoy!
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!)
ReplyDeleteHoly 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.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Love your big beautiful arrangement of flowers!
ReplyDeleteOh Sturgeon is just the best! Congrats to your sweetie! Your card is beyond beautiful, Kim! I love that stamp set every time I see it, but in these colors & centered it is stunning!
ReplyDeleteDouble Holy Cow... That fish is humongous and LOVE your card!! Those colors are fabulous with fresh cut florals....one of my favs....you made them shine!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bouquet - perfectly balanced Kim!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Kim, love the flowers! Boy that is a tummy looking fish, either you will be eating on it for awhile or you can have a wild party! Wish I lived near you! Thanks for sharing your card with us at the colourQ and keep showing us the catch!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your gorgeous floral arrangement! You did an awesome job with the Fresh Cut Florals set. It's a favorite of mine. And wow--what a fish--very impressive!
ReplyDeleteI love the layers in your card and that fish is impressive!
ReplyDeleteBest crafty wishes!
