Almost Spring Greetings!
I haven't entered The FLower Challenge in ages, but made one this time to honor their big 100 challenges festival.
The Flower Challenge: #100 is a special challenge. Right? I had this embossing folder with circles laying out to use for the first time, so am adding the card to NBUS #72.
Here are some details. I used Stampin' Up! fairly new folder called Dotted Circles. I inked up the folder with Hero Hues Unicorn white pigment ink and placed a piece of SSS Midnight Green paper inside before embossing. Next I went to work to find a nice flower from my stash. This one is retired SU Stippled Blossoms and I found out that I don't have the dies. Therefore the flowers and leaves are fussy cut out! Not my favorite thing to do. Do you like to do it?
Anyway, I love pink, so used WendyVecchi Pink Peony with touches of Granny Apple Green and Handsome Hunter ink.
To finish I added a sentiment from Newton's Nook Designs called Orchids. The set is still available. To anchor the sentiment, I fussy cut some green c.s. to mount it on.
That is it for now. We got several inches of snow last night and today, but I know Spring is coming before too long. Yay!
Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.

I love your big pink blossoms, Jeanne, and well done with the fussy-cutting and the whole design! That's neat that you had the perfect circular e/f for the circles brief at TFC! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
I don't mind fussy cutting, but if I had my druthers? You can bet I'd use those dies. But, Jeanne you excel at it! and I love the way you've layered your blossoms and their lovely pinks!
You've nailed the requisite circles, my friend, and I'm so happy you've joined in our celebration - not so much about the snow, however. I hope it's the last of the season!
Best of luck!

What a great embossing folder! Love your pink flowers and no--I don't enjoy fussy cutting! Yours looks great!
