We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Nothing brightens someone's day like flowers. They are the first gesture we make when someone is down, and their beauty can truly change a person's outlook on a day. I know when I walk into my home and I have a vase of flowers, the room just feels different.
Papercrafters can send flowers every day - and we should! So my challenge to you is to brighten the days of these ladies in Houston with one or more flowers on your card. Here are some possibilities for this challenge:
Shower us with flowers, and don't forget to mail your cards!
Thank you again for joining us, and see the details below for sending in your cards.

I have a busy cleaning day so I was happy to see the challenge posted and got right to work! I love this stamp, bought it as a single when SU offered it that way. I love black and pink together so I decided to color the flower pink and use the black contrasting color. Hope you like it.

Just edited my card to show that I also used a clear star gelly roll glitter pen on the edges of the flower. They aren't very visible in the picture, though.
With the help of last night's failure, I am already done!!! I hope to make another flower card with peach tones and more flowers but I am not sure I can squeeze it in today.
Thanks for the wonderful challenge to use flowers! Blue Believe
Bev- awesome challenge! I just love bright colors, and bunnies, so that's what I used for this card. Stamp sets are SU's Love You Much and Tender Toile, and my dc flower is from a friend. Here's Bunny Love

This card is inspired by my daughter reading to the cows in Montana when she was little, and the fact that they seemed to "listen" to her stories. I used a cute stamp depicting the Little Critter character from the Mercer Mayer books, and a slightly confused cow from All Night Media. There's lots of flowers all over this card Here's Storytime
