Hello! Today it's sunny for a change here on the East Coast! Our weather is slowly warming up, and it has me in the mood to share flower cards. 😁
Look at the pop of magenta color on these Lenten roses! I pulled out vibrant purples and greens from my Copic marker collection to give these blossoms some flower power. I hand-trimmed them, and added them to an all-white card base. The sentiment seemed to go really well with these floral beauties.

The next card uses a liberal dose of my favorite color, purple. I've loved this color all of my life. In fact, our dining room is painted with a deep plum color below the chair rail - the color is from the old line of Martha Stewart paints, and the name is Plum Pudding. And if you're wondering, the color above the chair rail is called Gray Squirrel. Plum and gray, those are our dining room colors.

The next card used up some pretty things that were in a box on my work desk: stamped roses and a sentiment from Altenew, and a rectangle of black cardstock that had been punched with a wrought iron punch.

The Proverbs 31:25 Scripture from Verve Stamps needed a little dressing up after I laid the rounded rectangle against the aqua patterned paper. I took a long piece of ruffled Regal Rose ribbon from Stampin' Up! and gathered and glued it along the back edges. Then even
that seemed like it needed a bit of something extra, so I used an Altenew flower and leafy branch, stamped and trimmed, to top off the opposite corners. The panel was set slightly to the right on the card base, to show off the pretty butterfly and flowers on the patterned paper. I did add some rhinestones though.

It's a bit tough to see in the picture of the last card, but that really thin strip is an antique gold glittered paper from DCWV.

These are definitely some pretty flower cards! I gasp at your Lenten Roses with that gorgeous color against the white. On the opposite end of the spectrum I also dearly love your grayscale clematis. Wow, Colleen!
These are all beautiful Colleen and have me longing for warmer days!!
