Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC16)!!!! Thanks so much to all of you who participated in last week's Happy Birthday challenge!!! Keep reading to find out who won!

For those of you who are new, the Friends of Flourishes blog team are bringing you exciting and different challenges each week. Everyone can PLAY and anyone can WIN! Make sure you continue reading to find out how.

This week Silke Ledlow is hosting the challenge!!! It is all about shapes this week. Silke is challenging us to go square with our cards. A square has four right angles and fours sides the same length. We are stepping away from the standard A2 card and going square!!!

So, go square with us this week!!! We would love to see what you create!!!

Come along with me and let's go see what the blog design team created for you this week!!

Up first is our challenge host, Silke Ledlow . She is using the newly released DIY Topiaries. This set is fabulous and so versatile for all kinds of cards. Silke is using one of several topiaries and pots that come in this set. I love the red and white color combo and the beautifully colored rose topiary. The scored background is fabulous and adds wonderful texture and sophistication to this card!!! She finished her card with some layered red bling brads, a red ribbon, and a wonderful sentiment from the Many Sentiments sets! Beautifully elegant, Silke!!!

Up next is Betty Wright. I am using the newly released DIY Topiaries and Many Sentiments sets, too. Instead of using one of the topiaries as my focal point, I opted for one of the smaller groupings of topiaries in the set to create a stamped background. It was super easy and fast to do with clear images to see where I stamped. I outlined each of the mini topiaries with a copic shadow marker(C1) to give the topiaries some definition. I finished with my sentiment as the focal image with a stamped off image of the topiaries behind. I love the way it turned out!!!

Next up is Cindy Haffner. She is using the Sweet Pea set. The colors and coloring of the Sweet Peas are gorgeous, Cindy. She is also showcasing many fabulous Spellbinder shapes. She is using as her square frame the Classic Squares and she punched holes in the scalloped borders for an added detail. She has layered that with the Inverted Scalloped Circles. Then, she topped it off with the Octagon shape. She finished her card with some Sakura gel pen dotting around the scalloped edge. Beautifully done, Cindy!

Last up this week is Kimberly Crawford. Kimberly is using the newly released DIY Topiaries and Sweet Violets sets. The colors and patterns are fantastic and the topiary coloring is beautiful!! Kimberly is using another one of the large topiaries and pots in this set. She stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Violets set directly to the dp. She finished her card with a pretty red ribbon bow and heart shaped button detail. Beautifully done, Kimberly!!!
