 Hello-

Back in my crafty space.  This card will be visiting the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.

These lush blooms are from Pretty Pink Posh...colored with zigs on bristol.

They have given us an optional moodboard...I love the deep pinks.

  


I have a second card, a fun fold graduation card for our nephew.  His university colors are green and gold and I found a patterned paper that was close to green gold.  I created an easel for the card to stand because it just opens with the top flap and then there is a pocket to put a gift card/check/ note inside.  The owl was a stamp off from Peggy -- I have no idea of the maker.


This on is going to the Tic Tac Toe gallery using the top row. You can see the patterned paper and a gold strip adorning the envelope flap beneath the card.

  

 Thanks so much for visiting.

Have mercy, Cat, those flowers are gorgeous and your coloring and design are amazing! You're very good with your Zigs. Your graduation card is super cute and fun and I think just perfect for your graduating nephew. It's a happy time, so why not send a happy card. I like the fold with a pocket for all the essentials.

Both are fabulous. The heat-embossed sentiment really makes the floral card pop. The use of the university colors is a wonderful touch.

Beautiful cluster and floral card, Cat, the colors are gorgeous! I really like your graduation card too, and the owl is a hoot!

Cute cards, Cat! (gosh, I did not intend the alliteration! LOL) Your graduation card is sweet. But if I received your floral creation, it would warm my heart, so I can just imagine how your recipient will feel! Your flowers look especially happy, and the sentiment, white against black, looks awesome amidst the shadows of your flowers! Thank you for sharing your love of all things flowers at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge. Looking forward to seeing you again!
Happy Crafting Hugs,
