Beautiful Blossoms August 2025

Hello friends, it is once again time for our monthly challenge at
Beautiful Blossoms where blooms should be the focus of
your card.  As always we have a beautiful inspiration  board
but you can create anything floral.


I had to let the vase inspire me as who can resist a beautiful vase of pretty sunflowers?
I purchased this stamp set way back in February when it was first released from
Paper Rose (Sketchy Handpicked Bouquet) knowing exactly where I wanted to use it!
I stamped it on a cream color card stock with  Cloud 9 solid back ink, it has become my favorite
new black ink. I used my Olo alcohol markers to color.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set mentioned above and inked in Dew Drop Rich Cocoa.  The bit of designer paper peeking out
is a very old somewhat textured Stampin Up paper.  This was a rather large stamp so I had
to break down and make an A6 card, not my usual A2.


We would love to see YOUR florals at
Beautiful Blossoms!!

Entering the following fun challenges:
NBUS ....Never Before Used Schtuff
2 Sisters On The Blog .... Flowers In A Vase
We Love Stamping .... Flowers
