First, I went over to Poppystamps (#psc142) to play along with them, and I found that their challenge this month is "Anything Goes." The only thing you have to do is to include at least one of their products. Easy peasy! Then I check in on Time Out Challenges #322 and found that their theme was "Seasonal Colors Where You Live." Since I'm in Florida, it's still very sunny and green here and the flowers are still in bloom in my yard. And the skies are blue, which is why I added blue in the background. Lastly, I wanted to play along with Retro Rubber#280 (#rrcb280) and found that they have a sketch challenge, which was perfect to tie all of this together. You always have to use a stamp that's older than a year, and my "celebrate" stamp is one that I picked up at a yard sale over 5 years ago. It's part of a set of many birthday greetings, although I don't know the brand.

The whole idea for this card started when I found the two half-circles (green dots and yellow scallop) in my stash. For the shape in Retro Rubber I thought that a split circle would be nice, and it's a great way to use with flowers from Poppystamps.

ReplyDeleteThank you Lisa! 🥰
DeleteBeautiful, Barb! Love your gorgeous flowers, and what a fabulous find with that stamp! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty floral card, love the colors and the blue paper to represent the blue sky. The extreme heat has about killed all of my flowers. So, upsetting but my tomato plants are finally doing great. Hope you're having a good weekend.
