Thank YOU Play Date Cafe for Another Great Challenge!
Well, not lovin' what I came up with for this challenge ...
but I'm going to call it a day and move on to something else :)
First I tried a gatefold card, embossed the white to give it the feeling of this beautiful building in the inspiration pic ... thought about doing little flower pots, cutting them out and then using flower soft on the flowers ... but I went for a bike ride with the kids instead and when I came home just ended up using my cricut to make the little center doily and flourish and quickly stamped the little sentiment, (Verve stamp) ...

didn't like it so tried it again the opposite way ...
still didn't like it so decided to go back to the flower pot idea ... decided I was too busy to cut out all those little pots and play with flower soft today so played around with a gatefold and regular fold card base and a couple different looks.
Nothing fancy ... but I played ... and that's a few more cards done and ready to go when I need them :)
Oh! Sentiments are all by Verve, flowers and pots are some cheap-o random stamps I bought for the kids to use, paper and inks are by CTMH; colors: sky, white and petal, and a touch of bamboo.
Thank you very much for looking today and have a happy tomorrow!
Sorry the pics are not great and the colors aren't turning out ~ I have been BEGGING my husband to build me a light box for months! Urgh.
I think I'm going to withhold .... dinner .... until he makes me one!

I love your gatefold card but I have to say, the simplicity of the flower pots that mimic our color story is simply beautiful! Isn't it funny how often we pick up some of our old cheap stamps and they really work!
Great projects for the gallery at The Play Date Cafe.
I LOVE your flower pot card!! What a fantastic idea you had from that inspiration photo! So glad you came to play with us at The Play Date Cafe!
Oh what a fab idea to recreate the little flower pots, both cards are lovely, but your little pots are SO sweet, lovely!!! :) Thanks for playing along with us at the Play Date Cafe!
I enjoyed all of your cards Michele! Love that beautiful Verve sentiment (I would) and the first two cards are so elegant! And for the final 3, I think that it's fabulous that you drew inspiration from the photo's design as well! With strong colors like these, I think that a CAS card using small touches of the tones are just the perfect style! Super job, my dear!
Glad to see you over at the Cafe!
All of your cards are lovely, but I just love how you've taken this week's photo and turned it into a card. I tend to be a literal interpreter too, so I love that you've nailed this! It's so beautiful in its simplicity. Thanks so much for playing along at The Cafe.
Fantastic job on ALL of your cards! And now you've got several for your stash, ready to go when you need 'em. THanks for playing with us at The Play Date CAfe!
this card is lovely
Wow, Michele! You've been a busy girl! LOVE the way you've mimicked that potted wall! Thanks so much for joining us this week at The Play Date Cafe! And thank you, too, for all the sweet and encouraging comments you've been leaving for me! I treasure them so!
