Hello everyone, it's Fliss here today with details of this week's challenge which I hope you're going to love as I picked the theme! Before we get to that though, I need to tell you about tomorrow's exciting happenings.
Saturday sees the launch of a brand new collection by our Nikky and she will be on Create & Craft TV tomorrow at 12 noon and 4pm with the lovely new addition to the team, Rosemary Merry, to tell you all about it. Definitely not to be missed!
The Design Team have been so excited to work with the gorgeous new collection and I know we all want to show you what we've created! No sharing until tomorrow though!
Now for the all important details of this week's theme which is Lots Of Flowers, as many as you can add in the form of background papers, a floral image, paper or fabric flowers etc etc. Here's what the Design team have come up with and I think you'll agree there are a lot of flowers here!
Ruth: I've gone for an old favourite and used Paper Boutique Vol 1 for this wonderfully shaped card! I used the A5 pre printed version and cut everything out, layering up the flowers with foam pads. For an extra bit of bling, I've added seed beads to the flower centres and glitter around the edges of the flowers.
Daniele, for my card I thought I use the Daisy doodles stamps this time, colouring and embossing some of them and then layering them up.
Miria For my card I used these superinspirational flowers and sentiment from cd Candy Doodles , I simply distressed them with Black Soot Distress Inkpad. I added two die-cut flowers from Marianne Design and buttons.

Lisa - The Crafting Owl. I used my fav CDROM Sundae of Seasons for the fab papers and seeing as the theme is flowers, Marianne Dies were the obvious choice.
Ashley- I made my own background flower paper using the Daisy doodles rubber stamp set (flowers), I also used the adorable owl from the Sugar Birdies CDROM.
Fliss - I've made a simple shaped card using a pretty image and gorgeous rose paper with a floral border from the Sugarplum Daisy CD. As you can see there are loads of flowers here. I made a floral embellishment using a layered flower die and leafy flourish by Marianne Design and finished off with a sentiment and pretty butterfly.
Patty - I've used a sweet image from the Sugarplum Daisy CD using plain papers and embossing for texture. I added a pretty lacy die cut circle and some stamped flowers to finish off.
Some fabulous inspiration here and we can't wait to see your creations. You have until 12 noon on Sunday 17 June to enter and please don't forget to check those rules.
Many return of the day and happy birthday.
