Flowers x Three...Happy Little Stampers August 2017 CAS Challenge~Flowers

Hello,

July was a whoosh! Hopefully, August will see the minutes, hours, days and weeks slow down a bit! I want the summer months to last!  Speaking of August, time for the new Happy Little Stamps CAS Challenge, where the theme of *Flower* is sure to generate plenty of inspiration and gallery entries.



I've brought three for you today, beginning with my flowering cactus.s (My Favourite Things),


a layered lily (Altenew) and


a whimsical 'natural organic' (Uniko)


NOTE:  Honoured and thrilled that my Uniko card was selected as one of the Top 3 in the Uniko Studio Challenge #42~Flowers. THANK YOU!


What types of lovely blooms will you share with us?  Looking forward to discovering a garden of gorgeous in the days ahead!

Oh my you have been a busy bee Carol. Each one is so stunning, I love the angled die-cut on the first one and that the sweet little succulent, the Altenew layered lily is one of my favs and you've showcased it brilliantly then I'm literally swooning like crazy at your Uniko organics one. Beautiful colours and so classy. Thanks for linking up at Uniko too this month. x

Your cactus is very beautiful. I love the way you painted it. It looks very realistically. And I love that it's a thriving cactus, in Poland it's quite unusual view :-)
I also like this crooked window. The remaining cards are equally beautiful, it's for us a real artistic treat :-)

Zena Mc said...

Love the Whimsical as I like things to be a little different! Lol. All threes are very good 🙃
