Hello … bonjour … and bon dimanche! It’s not often that I get to be here with something other than DT cards … but as today happens to be one of those days, I’m sharing a duo of summery, floral cards . Here’s the first …
An almost one layer card … this bouquet of stylised blooms was made using separate stem and flower centre images from Concord & 9th‘s Wildflower set. The main sentiment is also from C9 (Sophisticated Script) … and the secondary one is from Simon. I edged the top and bottom of the card with some striped washi … and added a black dot to each of the flower heads. I was going for a mimosa kind of look (in an abstract sort of a way) … how did I do?
My second card is a bright and sunny one … you may need sunglasses …
This is an image I stamped at the Lake House … think it’s Bev‘s and it might be Studio Calico (though I’m not certain) … isn’t it just charming? It’s stamped onto an MFT wonky stitched panel, was coloured with alcohol markers, had black pearls added to the flower centres … and was joined by a WPlus9 sentiment surrounded by a few miniscule black pearls. The finished panel was mounted flat onto a card base that had been edged with Distress Ink.

Anita, so happy to see that you had some time to just play. Your mimosa’s are fresh and colorful. Your yellow card of course is awesome. Love the blooms and the shade of yellow is perfect.
I do love the color and simplicity of your hello card.
Two sweet, summery cards Anita! The bright colours are so cheerful. Love the first card with those adorable flowers in pink and orange. Your bright yellow flowers are sweet! Love the contrast wth the black pearl centers and accents. xx
gorgeous Summer blooms and I especially like the colours of your first card and the border adds a lovely graphic touch-fab to see you got some time to make some non DT cards x
WOW! You should do this more often…both cards are stunning. They have an ethereal magic about them and you know which one is my favorite, right ?
I will pop on my sunglasses to visit your blog anytime, Anita! Both of your summery designs are just perfect! I love all the fun, bright colors and your CAS designs are lovely! So happy you had a chance to play ~ Hugs, Barb xx
Definitely 2 bright and summery cards Anita and I’m loving them both!! Your little Mimosa garden is SOOOO pretty and you did wonderful my friend! And with yellow being my favorite color, how could I not fall in LOVE with your sweet yellow blooms?! Lovely, lovely cards and so glad you had time to “just play”! Hugs. :0)
Summery and Fun together Anita, I adore them both! Could you please send the Summer my way now, I’m ready lol.
Tres belle, mon amie!
I must confess I had to Google mimosa flowers because I had never heard of them. You did a wonderful job creating them on paper, Anita, and they’re darling. Your yellows flowers are lovely too.
These are charming Anita! The blooms and your clean designs are whimsical and airy!
Two simply sweet and beautiful cards Anita…just love those stunning yellow flowers, just perfect for summertime.
The stamping on the first card is so pretty and the mimosa’s are beautiful. The washi tape top and bottom finishes it off wonderfully x. Such a happy second card and the stamped flower is striking and so very pretty. Love both of your wonderful cards Anita x.
Both your cards certainly have that wonderful bright, summery feel, Anita! Great colours! Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week!
Lovely to see you and your beautiful cards, Anita! 🙂
What a delightful and cheery pair of floral cards Anita! The large happy sentiment on the first one says it all about the gorgeous mimosa like flowers, and the sunny colours on the second card will bring a big smile to the lucky recipient.
Thanks for sharing with us at Addicted to Stamps and More.
Hugs

Gorgeous florals, each in its own right! Love how much the washi added to your mimosas too
Both cards are lovely, my favorite is the yellow! Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges!
Oh they’re both so very pretty. The little pink polka dot flowers scattered across the first card are just gorgeous and the second yellow card is so crisp and CAS. Thanks so much for playing at Uniko, hope to see you join in with future challenges too.
beautiful set of flower cards, anita! go glad you got some time to create just for fun!
Wonderfully simple little beauties! So perfect for this time of the year!
Hi Anita, what nice flower cards you have made! You know, Washi is so thin, how can it truly be counted as a separate layer? {grin} xoxox
Anita these are both just beautiful, I love the colours and tiny blooms on the first one and the cheerful message on your second card!
Great to see you playing just for fun, Anita! I love your first card and now have a craving for a mimosa! As for your pretty little second card, I think we all used Bevie’s awesome stamp at the retreat. You’ve made a sweet CASlicious card with it; I love the gray and yellow!! LYAMYMAED!! Hugs, Darnell
These are both so bright and just see summer to me…beuatiful! Hugs and bon dimanche, Gerrina
