Hello-
Its a bit dreary outside, but it was a joyful time in my crafty space this afternoon.
This gorgeous bloom is visiting Altenew's January Challenge along with Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge for something new. This is a new stamp set in my stash.
The image (Gracious Peonies) was stamped and colored with:
YG 03, 05
RV21, 13, 14
A double layer of the die cut Hello (Flower Arrangement dies) is set upon the fussy cut image adhered to a pink card base. I added a bit of the image to the envelope flap as well.
Its been quite a while since I have felt mojo. I posted fewer than 70 cards last year.
This week after taking several breaks in the last few months, I am again excited to make cards.
Coloring this card, really brought back my love for florals -- which I haven't played with much the past two years. I'm also trying to tie in the envelopes to the cards as I make them. Some of you are really great at embellishing the insides and the envies...you all have inspired me to do a bit more. Thank you too for visiting.

Such a gorgeous cluster of blossoms, Cat, and I love it partially repeated on the envelope!! Perfect with the rich black hello sentiment diecut!!
Sometimes we all need to take a bit of a break Cat, but it sure hasn't hurt your mojo from where I'm looking...this card is BEAUTIFUL! Your coloring is so pretty and that scripty die cut hello is the perfect finishing touch! LOVE the decorated envie too! You will definitely bring joy and a smile to whoever receives this lovely, lovely card!! Hugs. :0)
Gorgeous coloring on the peonies - lovely take on the inspiration image from Altenew. Yay for renewed mojo!
The pop of black from the sentiment was the perfect choice for the pretty pink blooms! Marvelous card, Cat! You're back, girl!
Whoa, stop the presses, this is one gorgeous card! Love your new stamp and you colored it so beautifully. The envelope is quite striking, too. I don't do as much inside a card as I used to, but still a little something. I haven't done an envelope for a long time. Shame on me. You're having fun in your stamp room and that makes me happy. Sending hugs!
When it's cloudy and dreary outside, we make the world colorful at the craft table!!!
Your card turned out beautifully, the flowers speak for themselves!!

A truly beautifully colored flower covered card, Cat. What a great job you've done.
