Hello -
Wow a second card and post in one day. You guessed it...a face time crafting session with Peggy -- she inspires me to make pretty things.
This is a mini slimline card 3.25 by 6.25 its off just a bit from the traditional measurements, since it has to fit in an envelope I got online touted to be a mini slimline and yes I checked the envelope measurements when I ordered it...but I didn't think about needing room for the card to slide in. Hence my card is a bit smaller.
This card is going to visit two challenges calling for slim line cards - Freshly Made Sketches and Just add ink. I've used Bigger Blooms from the Greetery for my florals and the sentiment comes from CTMH. I scribbled the frame on the white panel and deliberately had my blooms overflow the white panel to the cards edge. I used altenew inks they make double and triple layer stamping so much easier. And of course I had to add a bit of PPP bling.
One last note - I added FOLLOW IT to my blog sidebar, you can sign up there to continue to get my blog by email once feedburner closes down. I've seen a few bloggers have moved over to it and I joined the pack.
Thank much for coming to visit...enjoy the holiday weekend my friends in the USA.

I think this must be my new favorite card - absolutely love everything about it - colors, design are great!
I like slimline cards very much!! Your card is particularly beautiful, I like the design and the great flowers!
Very pretty card with lovely bold colours. Chantell Just Add Ink
Beautiful colours. I don't understand why envelopes aren't routinely made bigger than the card they are supposed to fit. I have that trouble with the A2 envelopes I bought, they just fit A2 cards as long as they aren't too fat! I have now discovered that you can get single e-mails for each post in settings on follow.it. I am pleased about that xx
I'd call this a big dose of happy! Gorgeous bold & colorful blooms, Cat. Thanks for playing along with us at FMS this week.
You can make cards any dang size you want to. This is really gorgeous, Cat! I started to do follow.it, but it turned into a confusing mess so I quit. Something wasn't working right. I hope that won't be the case with the next thing I try.
This card is definitely a dose of happy! Those flowers are so beautiful and the colours so cheery! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Bold and beautiful Cat! Loving your colour choices and pretty design on this slimline card. Thanks for sharing at Just Add Ink.
So pretty with the blossoms, Cat - love this!!
A dose of happy for sure! Terrific color combination.

It's a fabulous size, Cat - filled with all the colors I love in a bouquet! Just love that dash of purple!
