Roben Marie has just posted a challenge for this month over on the Paperbag Studios blog which is as follows:
" I think we will focus on flowers for this month. Use one of our flower stamps or add a fabric or paper flower to your creation! We want to see your best take on flowers!!

"This flower is made with Tim Holtz's Tatterered Florals die and I used the thistle stamp from the Little Feet plate as my inspiration.
... and here's a close up of the flower so you can see it in all it's 3D-ness!
.... and as Sarah wants to reach 100 entries on Play Date Cafe (PDCC37) this week I've entered it into their challenge as well . I thought it might be stretching it slightly colourwise but looking at some of the other entries, maybe not!

This has a very romantic feel to it. Love the use of the panel too. I'm still to try fabrics with the dies , thanks for the reminder x
This is really beautiful Carol! x
This is a beautiful card, Carol. So femine and elegant. I really love the flower ;)
Flowericious! Happy creating...
Wow, Carol, that's fabulous. I love the fabrics and lace you've used, they work so well with the dies.
Definitely makes me thing of a bygone era when lots of lace and chintzy fabrics were the norm. It also makes me think of summer days (cooler than this one) with a breeze wafting lacy curtains at the window.
It's a beautiful card with such pretty colours. I love how you've echoed the lace in the background by adding it as a flower layer too. Like Jo, I keep meaning to try this.

What a beautiful flower Carol.I love the entire effect of your card.
Those dies cut fabric beautifully don't they.
I'm really not a big flower fan, Carol cos I think they're over used but you've done a brilliant job of this and - as Jo says - it has a really romantic feel. Then again, your work often does. Love the colours, too.
Beautiful use of the die Carol. I love the vintage romantic look of it. Lovely piece
Cor, this is lush Carol... loving those fabric flowers :O))
