Thoughtful Floral

Mornin' y'all!  I got to spend some time in my craft room yesterday making a few cards and working on some scrapbook pages.  Hooray!  So here's my card for today:


Okay what kind of flowers are these??  My brain was saying agapanthus and maybe they are, but my brain also says they should be bright pink and Google says agapanthus are bluish purple.  Well, paper flowers can be any color I want, so pink it is!  Also I loved the inspo pic from Just Add Ink:


I had a scrap of Blueberry Bushel striped paper which I thought echoed the stairs nicely, and when I was sticking things down I decided to do the opposite side of the paper for the middle panel just to add some interest.  That giant floral stamp from Best Thoughts popped in my head as soon as I saw this inspo pic.

Had to have another go at the Freshly Made Sketch this week too:


This card came together super quick except for the coloring, which was fun anyway.  That's it for me today, peeps, I've got to go get Ryan up and moving.  Usually he wakes up on his own before 7 but not today...school here starts really late in my opinion, we don't leave the house until about 8.  At least it's less drama if he's getting himself up.  Cheers!

Ink:  Night of Navy, Stampin' Blends in Polished Pink, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green

Personally I think paper flowers can be whatever color your heart wants and these are fabulous in pink! Thanks for playing along with us at FMS this week.
