Happy June! I hope you are all having a great start to summer. It’s the begginning of the month which means its time for a new challenge at The Flower Challenge. The challenge this month is …
We have a sponsor this month! Joy Clair Designs, giving our lucky winner 3 digital stamp sets of their choice, up to the value of $25 from their store.
Our Guest Designer this month is the fabulous Rachel Alvarado from rachelalvaradodesigns.com, go check out her blog/Instagram.

To create this card, I used Word to open and create my card layout with the Floral Friendship set. I love working with digital images since I can play with the size of both the image and sentiment. I printed the image on my printer and used colored pencils to color up the flower.

Once I was done coloring my image, I took my WOW! Embossing Pen and traced the sentiments to add some embossing in Periwinkle and Carnival for a fun contrast.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out all the other beautiful cards from the design team! Have a wonderful weekend!
