Elegant Blossom

 I have had this die for quite some time and I even made it up shortly after purchasing it and then I put it away in the package for further use, and I am finally bringing it out to play.  I colored some of it with markers and did a little inking on it. I added some rubons to the pattern paper, along with some of the new washi tape I saw on Amazon and just had to have it, just as you see that border that is how it comes, pretty cool huh!


  • Simon Says Stamps - Elegant Blossom die cut, colored w/markers and inking
  • 49 and Market - Coral Mini Collection 6x6 papers, Vintage Artistry Coral & Natural Rubons ( Crochet and spots)
  • Amazon - Valley Green Butterfly washi tape
  • Hero Arts - It's your day sentiment stamp
  • Martha Stewart Pearls

I would like to share my card with the following challenges:



We got almost 4 inches of rain on Saturday, everything has greened up again, so thankful for the rain and that it came down steady all day instead of all at once, so we didn't have to worry about flooding :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and hope you have a great week!

This is gorgeous! I love the pretty flower and how you've colored it. The strip of butterfly washi tape is fabulous too. I like how it's cut like it's torn. A beautiful, beautiful card my friend.

Beautiful 😍 Connie but as lovely as it is what thrilled me was the great blessing of God of 4 inches of rain from lovely rain all day.

We really need that too, a lot of our area is in drought and we face a bad bushfire season this summer unless the LORD blesses us too. Praying much for mercy. So glad for you, prayer hugs, Shaz in Oz.x 🙏🏻🤗

This card radiates elegance and warmth, Connie. The way you've brought dimension to the blossom with your coloring and inking gives it such life, and the butterfly washi tape adds a whimsical touch that feels both fresh and nostalgic. I love how the rub-ons echo the vintage charm of the patterned paper—each detail feels thoughtfully placed and beautifully balanced. A truly heartfelt creation that celebrates both artistry and joy.
