Welcome, welcome!
I finally made it back into my craft room, so I took advantage of the time and made a card for 4 challenges! While my thoughts came quickly, it took me a bit to get them organized into the actual card. Here's today's card ~
While the colors (orange and green) aren't a true representation (yep, had some struggles), the colors are actually deeper and a touch of light brown on the flower center, but you get the idea.
I cut the NBUS Coneflower dies from white cardstock, ink blended several layers with depth, plus blending on the leaves. I love these dies, the embossing is fantastic! Then, a VERY old doily die came to mind to use for the circle element from the sketch -- I actually had one cut already in the pocket, cool! I popped up some edges of the leaves, curled a few petals and adhered everything down. The sentiment was then pressed, die cut and added to the card. Hmmm, a little plain -- so I added the debossing, three lines on two of the edges -- perfect!
Supplies:
HB - Coneflower dies (NBUS)
MFT - Scalloped Doily die
Splb - A Little Message pp sentiment
This'll be going to JUGs #791 - Dies/Anything Goes; Color Hues #117 - Orange & Green; The Flower Challenge #106 - sketch and NBUS #78
Thanks for the visit! Have a GREAT remainder of the week. I hope it's cooling in your neck of the woods, we're getting a bit of reprieve here, we even had a few thunderstorms and showers last night.

Your HB coneflower worked perfectly for the sketch, TK! It looks pretty on the doily. I like your scored detail too. Wonderful card. Thanks for sharing it with us at Just Us Girls!
Your coneflower is beautiful; love the contrast of the light and dark ink on the petals. The debossing on the edges of the card adds subtle detail without distracting from the main event--that lovely bloom. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
Beautiful card and wonderful design! Photos don’t always show the true colors but like you said we get the idea!
Sorry I forgot my name, I hope you know that I loved the card.
Way to incorporate the challlenges. This is a pretty card. Thanks for sharing at JUGS
I've always loved that coneflower die and you colored it so beautifully in the soft orange, TK. The doily made a great place to show it off. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls and The Flower Challenge.
Your coneflower is gorgeous in the blended oranges TK and I love the doily for the circle portion of the sketch! And the lines on the side and top too! Lovely, lovely card and perfect for both the Color Hues & Flower Challenges...thanks so much for sharing!! Hugs. :0)
Your pretty orange coneflower fits perfectly onto your 'old' doily AND in our Sketch, TK! I think the hues of orange and green are perfection as are the scored lines - I hope I remember that little bit of genius design!

Nothing better than that coneflower die! I also love that layout and your scored edges. It frames it in so well. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues.
This coneflower is gorgeous, TK! I love the shades of orange and the bright green! Brown is a neutral and allowed so you're in great shape! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Color Hues!
These are lovely green and orange tones. Your Take on the sketch is lovely.
Beautiful card, TK! I really like how you used a softer green and orange for the flower and leaves as well as your take on the sketch.
Beautiful! I really like your ink blending on this lovely card. Nice use of the sketch too! Thanks for playing over at The Flower Challenge.
This is so lovely TK!! Great design using the sketch ... and how perfect to have the doily ready to go! :) Love your gorgeous orange coneflower, especially against the bright green. Great work! xx
The coneflower die is one of my favorites and you've used it so beautifully in the CH colors, TK! Love your soft inking (photos will be the bane of all of us, I swear!) and the subtle scoring on the panel edges. Gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing with us at The Flower Challenge and Color Hues!
