Today I have a bit of Festive Flower fun for you, one of the cards I worked on over the weekend for the current Pals Paper Arts Challenge! I can’t believe how close we are getting to our 300th challenge! This week we are at Pals Paper Arts Challenge #294 hosted by Dawn Tidd! Dawn has a fun sketch for us that I had a blast using!
I decided to go all purple for today’s card – no particular reason other than I really wanted to use this cute strip of heart designer series paper from our Have A Cuppa Designer Series Paper Pad! I love all the colors and variety in this paper pad, and this week it inspried me to create with lots of purple!
I used Perfect Plum for my flower which was built from the Festive Flower Builder Punch! This was the first time I used this lunch, and I must say that I love the results! The Perfect Plum paired with just a bit of Daffodil Delight for the flower center seem to balance each other. I also finished off my card with our Whisper White 5/8″ Organza Ribbon, such an elegant touch. This card also needed a sentiment, one that would really pop, one that seemed fitting for my heart and flowal creation. I reached for my Greatest Greetings Stamp Set and just knew that ‘My Amazing Mother’ was always supposed to be on this card specifically for Mother’s Day! I know my mom will love what I created for her!
Have a fabulous day! Thank you so much for stopping by to check out my creation today, I hope you enjoyed what I shared and maybe I inspired you to create something for Mother’s Day or that special lady in your life!
Adorable! This card is so cute. I have yet to try to make a flower with that Punch but many thanks for the nudge… that will be on my to do list in the near future. Way to rock the challenge and thanks for playing…
Beautiful, Jackie! I am a huge fan of purple…and that gorgeous flower is right up my alley! Thanks for rockin’ the sketch this week!!!
So glad you enjoyed using my sketch this week to create such a gorgeous Mother’s Day card! I love that bold bloom with the pretty bow, just what any mother would want! Thanks for joining us at the PPA this week!
Hi, Jackie! I had to pop in and tell you how much I love your card. That flower is just gorgeous!
I love the use of purple. It is refreshing to use another color. I always seem to gravitate to pink, but you making me take another look at the purple. Good job!
Hmm is anyone else having problems with the pictures on this blog loading?
I’m trying to find out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
