I am entering my card into 4 challenges. The central theme for the Dirty Dozen challenge this month is OH SO SHAPELY. Use die cuts, punches, and shapes. I can handle that.
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge is a fun sketch from Silke Ledlow. http://www.flourishes.org/category/timeless-tuesday/
I used a new EK Success plaid edge punch and my Spellbinders Blossom Two (largest and smallest) and circle nestabilities on this card.
Other challenges:
Paper Sundaes-Topping Bar
Tip Top Tuesday-Square challenge

I need to tell you that the violet/purples are my all-time FAVES when it comes to planting pansies! They're beginning to be replaced here in TX now with summery blossoms, but purply pansies will always be amongst my favorites! Lovely Card!

What great colors and dies and punches on this card! The combination of everything is really cool together. Beautiful flowers. I think it should be against the rules for Punchkateers to do this month's DD challenge since we could totally flood that gallery with every card we make! On second thought - that might be fun! Hope you came through all the tornadoes ok - we had one go by about a 1/2 mile from us but otherwise we were ok. Those pictures of the one that hit Tuscaloosa and Birmingham were the scariest thing! I had no idea tornadoes got that big! Let me know - I have been worried about you when I saw they were all around you.

What a wonderful display of textures, layers and shapes Benzi. This is outstanding. Your flower is colored beautifully and that border punching is to die for. Your time and attention to detail is awesome my Benzalina. Glad to hear you are safe from the tornadoes. What would we do without our lil' Benzi! TFS and stay safe!
