Hello
I was looking through my cards that I haven't yet shared on my blog, and came across this one. I thought it would be perfect for this months Flower Challenge. They are celebrating their 100th challenge and are asking us to add circles. I realise I only have one circle, so I hope that is OK.
My embossing folder is called Sandie's Garden by Honey Bee Stamps. I started with a 7x5 inch piece of watercolour paper which I inked with different colours. Then I inked the embossing folder before embossing the card.
The circle and flower stamps are from the Altenew set called floral halos. I used matching dies to cut them out. The circle is backed with vellum and I am afraid I don't know the make of the thank you die.
The Flower Challenge #100 - add circles. Congratulations on your 100th challenge
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

This looks amazing, Hilary, and I'm quite sure they won't mind that there's only one circle. The embossed piece is dramatically stunning with the colors on the dark background. I love how a little of the dark ends up adding the depth within the flower images, too. Utterly gorgeous!
Absolutely gorgeous!! I do love the dark background for those fabulous florals - embossed colored flowers do have a way of standing out spectacularly! And your vellum backed sentiment looks perfect. Great card, Hilary!
I think it's a great idea to add vellum on this marvelous background! Thanks for the inspiration. It's so lovely with all the flowers!
It's beautiful and your right about the black background, makes for such a striking card.

I'm simply amazed! How do you manage to color the embossing folder so beautifully to achieve this result? A stunningly beautiful card!
Your card is absolutely stunning. The dark background creates such a dramatic effect, beautifully highlighting the intricate embossed flowers. I love how the vellum-backed sentiment adds an elegant touch, and the little gems complete the look perfectly. Truly inspiring!
Beautiful post
Please read my post
Hilary, I LOve that embossed image and the way you've added the dark background by inking your folder - so dramatic and it adds such wonderful detail to those flowers, too!
A circle for your sentiment is just perfect! Thanks so much for joining us as we celebrate our 100th challenge!

Hi Hilary
I love the background you have created very, very much! A really gorgeous look and it is almost a shame to cover any of it up!
Love Jules xoxo.
You're so right, Hilary - very dramatic! Love this!!
The black background really makes the colors and embossed details stand out! Such a dramatic and beautiful card, Hilary!
What a stunning card, Hilary! The colouring on the flowers is beautiful and the dimension adds such a lot.
Very pretty! Love the coloring on this. Once circle is enough to play in our challenge - thanks for playing over at The Flower Challenge.
Oh, so beautiful! Love those pretty embossed flowers in wonderful color! Great way how you did the sentiment using the vellum, too!
