Hello, blogging friends!
It's time for a new Challenge at Beautiful Blossoms. A fun "mood-board-inspired" monthly challenge which features Flowers as the main focus.
I was inspired by:
- The letters in the word "fiesta" are separated by squares. The "square triad rose image" is "separated" by the same shape.
- The gold glitter embossing tinsel is inspired by the pretty jewelry in the mood board.
- And those brilliant colors, so these orange roses are shaded with pink tones, and boast green leaves.
I rummaged through my "needs to be colored" bin and found this Pink and Main rose awaiting its completion. It was heat set with gold glitter embossing tinsel, and is quite sparkly in person.
The sentiments are from a stamp set purchased nearly 25 years ago, by Anna Griffin. The die set is also by Anna Griffin. Her dies are deeply etched, easily cut, and always emboss well:
While coloring with Copic Markers, I carefully avoided the marker tip with the gold EP. You cannot see it well in the photos, but the orange is shaded with deep pink Copics. The "tall flower" was cut into thirds to mimmic the scrabble words in the mood board, but it also allowed me to introduce the bright green color as well. (apologies for the dark photo)
Looking forward to seeing your floral masterpiece at at Beautiful Blossoms Challenge!

A gorgeous slimline design! Wonderful use of dies and stamped designs! I love the flowers!
A beyond gorgeous slimline, Donna. So beautifully and meticulously colored and complemented by your design. A very cool take on the mood board, too! xoxo
How do I love this? Let me count the ways: The tall gorgeous flower, beautifully colored with a sparkly outline. The separated panels which I am always drawn to. The amazing slimline die. Very awesome, Donna!
Oh my is that ever gorgeous, I love the coloring of the roses and that embossing with the tinsel really adds a special touch to them, like how you split up the image and such fancy dies to frame it all with!
This is stunning. Projects like this are great because you can have a piece of artwork that has been sitting in a half finished box for ages until its lucky day that it turns into a masterpiece. I love how you have made these look like tiles, beautifully etched in gold Michelle x
Absolutely gorgeous Donna, love the shading of the flowers and the beautiful gold sets it all off perfectly, plus I love all the sparkle!!
