  1. Just gorgeous, Therese! Thanks for the marker blending tips. I have had problems blending With the Evergreen marker and will use the tip to tip method. Your card designs are always lovely.

  2. You had me at the purple! lol Very pretty! I think I like the darkest
    colored one best, too. Lovely design.

  3. Have you ever thought of continuing the color beyond the leaf or flower to eliminate the bright white border ? As you may tell, I’m not the biggest fan of that white border. I do realize many like that it. Have a blessed day. Thanks again

    1. Hi Laurie, I am hit and miss on the ‘white’ border, somethimes I think it actually helps to pop an image especially if there is a busy background. But sometimes I just don’t want it, then I just grab out my scissors and fussy cut the images. thanks so much for your lovely visit, Crafty hugs, Therese

  4. Therese, this is absolutely gorgeous! These look amazing with subtle background and vivid colors you chose!! Thanks for the inspiration! Have a wonderful day!

  5. What a beautiful card! I love these flowers also and the purple is very pretty. Thank you for here inspiration and hope you have an awesome day!

  8. This is another really pretty flower with unique leaves and lovely sentiments that are perfect for those sentiment strips we love to use. Your card is absolutely beautiful with its bold purple flowers!

  9. I always love how your cards turn out. I love how you did the background. I love flowers and flower stamps but I never seem to use them. Not sure why. I have quite a few, a lot of them by Altenew.

  10. This card is so beautiful!! I love the pretty colors you chose to use and the lovely way you stamped the muted flower on the background.

  13. It’s so difficult not to keep repeating myself in response to your creativity, but this card is beautiful. No doubt the stamp and die set is beautiful, but it’s your amazing skills that bring it to life and enables us to learn from you. Thank you. It’s always a pleasure watching.

  14. Thank you for an informative video. It was great to see you colouring in real time at the beginning and I appreciated the demonstration of the tip-to-tip technique with the pens. A beautiful result.
