 Hello-

I've spent a lot of time cleaning up floor piles in my crafty space. Seems I don't have enough room on my shelves ...  And I've been working on Easter cards.  So its been all work and no posting for a week.

I did manage to get out a floral bouquet stamp from The Greetery for a few cards. My favorite is the one on top.  Yes, the yellows and pinks which when blended look a bit orange make me happy.

Coordinating envelopes for them all. They were stamped. then heat embossed on bristol paper and colored with Arteza watercolor brush markers. Fortunately I also had the die so yay no fussy cutting. I found some backgrounds to mount the bouquets and I have a handful of cards.

I love a thinking of you sentiment because it can be personalized for any occasion on the inside.  These will be visiting Beautiful Blossoms and Inspired By challenges.
 

    

Thanks so much for visiting.

I imagine each and everyone of these cards is amazing in its own right. Good job you have a coordinating die for that stamp as fussy cutting it would be a real challenge once let alone 6 times. Love the colours and that checked background too xx

Lovely assortment of cards, Cat, and those coordinating envelopes make them extra special! I also love the take you have for the mood board! It's always fun seeing how crafters are inspired by the Mood Board at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge. Thank you for sharing your love of all things flowers with us, and I hope to see more of your designs soon.

A really beautiful bouquet. Too bad you can't see all the variants, but the one with the checkered background looks great.

Oh, so very beautiful, Cat! You did such lovely work on this and judging by the little bits I can see I'm guessing every card is just as pretty. I love the colors in your bouquet. It looks like you made quite a few! I agree about the thinking of you sentiment and use it a lot, too. BTW, it seems no matter how much table space I have it's never enough, even when I make just one card. When I look at the finished card I wonder how could that be?
