Card Patterns: Sketch 114, Timeless Tuesday, Bring Beautiful Back

Hi bloggies! I had some time today and wanted to join a card challenge. Card Patterns had a lovely sketch this week and I decided to make a card with it. I also used the colors from Embellish Challenge Color Trends. Unfortunately, I didn't read the entire challenge and so I didn't make a square card. DARN! lol! I probably wouldn't get away with entering this in the Embellish Challenge hee. Anyway, here's the sketch for Card Patterns 114.



My friend Heather alerted me to two more challenges I can join in. Thanks Heather! It's perfect because I'm using Flourishes stamps. So, this one is also for Timeless Tuesday 117 "Anything Goes" and Bring Beautiful Back "The Beauty of a Flower". 


Here's my card. I used my new stamp from Flourishes, I believe it's called Orchids. When I saw the release for the new stamp sets, this one called to me. It's so beautiful and elegant. I just LOVE it to pieces! And it's my first Flourishes stamp set...and I can happily say that I love the quality of the stamps. :) It's actually facing the opposite side. But I needed it this way, so I stamped it on vellum and flipped it. I love how this turned out. I hope you like it! I'll be back later on for some CASE Study Challenge! See y'all then!

    WOW! I love how this turned out with the pretty Orchids. You needed to have entered this into both the Timeless Tuesday and Bring Back Beautiful challenges at the Flourishes blog. Both are linked up on my blog. :)
