to guest design this month for The Flower Challenge.......
The theme this month is Summer/Winter....Depending on where you live....
This is my card.....
I used Lindy Sprays for the background and stencilling with white pigment ink.
I also used a stencil for the Summer flowers....On the card itself
and on a separate piece of card,
so that I could fussy cut out some of the petals.
so that I could fussy cut out some of the petals.
Finishing off with the Summery sentiment and a black frame.
I thought the flower in the top right ended up looking like the Sun and it's rays,
which luckily fitted in with the Summer theme!......
The amazing and talented Design team over at The Flower Challenge
will 'Wow' you with their creations............
Thank you so much for the honour of guesting with you this month.

Oh my goodness! So striking, Mac! The colours are bold and bright, making it the perfect summer card. There are so many amazing details I don’t know where to look. Fabulous texture and dimension as always. Congratulations on GD at TFC! 🎉🎉🎉
Wow, this is just wonderful. That background is stunning and the way you have added petals and dimension to the sunflowers is just fantastic. It certainly does look like the suns rays and truly conjures up bright bold summery vibe. I think we need it in these times of windy and grey skies, thank you Mac xx
STUNNING card, Mac!! I LOVE the gorgeous stenciling in the background with the white highlights. The blue is so vibrant and beautiful. And of course the colours of the flowers play off the blue perfectly being complimentary. Gorgeous texture and depth with your beautiful flowers. Love the few petals that are on the frame. Amazing design, my sweet friend! Congrats on being Guest Designer at The Flower Challenge! xx

WOW! Such a summer color combination. Sand and sea waves, it's amazing how you combined them thanks to the colors. Epic! Your background is wonderful, like a refreshing sea breeze. Flowers by adding additional layers have become unique. You're right, your top flower looks like hot summer sun. Great inspiration, Mac.
