Last night our interfaith book group had a special guest who shared a wealth of knowledge with us. I wanted to write her a thank you note, and pulled out a new Altenew set I just purchased during a sale at Ellen Huston. After one use, I’m pretty sure you’ll be seeing a lot of “Weekend Doodles.” I love the sketchy look of the flowers and they are beautifully arranged, and perfect for coloring. This afternoon I decided to pull out my Copic markers, and chose the colors based on the monthly Altenew Challenge.
I didn’t have quite the same purple as the stripe behind the photograph, but if you look at the pansies, you will see a more traditional purple which I used in the flowers.
The design of the card was also dictated by a challenge: the AAA Card Challenge: One Corner and Optional Twist: Flowers. I’ve got both of those.
After coloring the flowers, I die cut them and added some dimensional tape before adding them to the white cardstock where I had already stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s “Thank You Kindly.”
I tried a variety of tiny embellishments, but in the end, decided to leave it truly CAS, and just added it to a top-folded card of Ripe Avocado.
I’m off to check out the other entries at these challenges.
Just beautiful! Love the crisp, clean feel of your fabulous card. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too.
I too like the flowers – perfect for colouring. I like that you sent a Thank You card to your guest speaker. I suggested this to a group I belong to after a guest speaker & most thought I was nuts “she got paid, isn’t that thank you enough” … I sent anyway, I refuse to let politeness & civility die out!
Very pretty blooms, love the purple and the look and feel and layout of your card. Thank you for playing at AAA Cards.
Very nice … and neat to have been able to accomplish so much in one card. How lovely of you to send the speaker something so pretty and especially made :).
How DELIGHTFUL is this, Karen! Thanks so much for playing Altenew June Inspiration Challenge! FABULOUS!
This is absolutely beautiful, your CAS design has really made this flower sprig shine!
Such a gorgeous card in a lovely color combo! Thanks for joining AAA Cards! Hugs Åsa
