Hey there, it's time for a new Just Us Girls challenge! Vicki is our hostess for word week and she picked Flowers (see what I did there ~ hee!) We also have a guest designer joining us this month! Please stop by and say hello to Deborah Wheeler!
Flowers... so many choices!
I recently bought this Hollyhocks die (Impression Obsession) and it turned out to be a marvelous filler for my pretty flower wrap (Simply Graphic)! They were die cut them from colored cardstock then a little Copic coloring was added to the centers. It needed just a touch more some something, so I tucked in a small scallop border. Voila, I love it!
Our gallery is sure to be a beautiful flower garden this week. I hope to see some blooms of yours included!

This is so sweet Lisa! I adore your soft colored hollyhocks wrapped in paper. Happy Mother's day!
LOVE this sweet card Lisa! The hollyhocks are so pretty coming out of the paper wrap. Agree ... that small scallop on the edge is the perfect finishing touch. Great work! xx
I love how you colored these hollyhocks, Lisa! I have the dies and you've inspired me to pull them out! Love the brown paper wrapper that holds them and the sweet scalloped border!

Marisela Delgado said: Hello, my friend, Lisa! What a beautiful card! I just had a conversation with Laura Bassen about the "flower wrap." She was making a card with one and asked if anyone knew what it's called. It's called a tussie-mussie. It may have had a special meaning back in the Victorian era because it's an interesting name. Home Depot even offered a class on how to make one. Fun fact. haha haha I hope your Mother's Day was nice. I didn't have internet so I wasn't able to tell you sooner. ☺☺ Hugs! Mari
Those hollyhocks are gorgeous! Such a pretty card with that beautiful bouquet against that embossed background and that scalloped edge finishes this off perfectly!
Your pink and yellow spray of hollyhocks is beautiful, Lisa, and perfect tucking into that paper wrap. I love the texture in the background too.
Lisa, This is my favorite card of the lineup! Love the colors, and the extra feminine touches. It is always fun seeing where your creativity takes you each week, it’s always a surprise. Unlike me, very predictable.
Beautiful depth and texture Lisa; so pretty!
Such a gorgeous bouquet of flowers Lisa. Great background and fabulous dies. Love the tiny bow and sweet sentiment.
Wow this is gorgeous! I love your colorful bouquet, and that bit of yellow scallop is just the perfect touch!
What a gorgeous card, Lisa. I love that flower wrap and your hollyhocks look great in it. I love the colors you chose, and that tiny bit of scallop on the left is a fabulous detail. The embossed background is the perfect setting for your bouquet.
This is absolutely beautiful Lisa....just love your gorgeous bouquet of beautiful flowers!
Just love your bundle of hollyhocks and all the layers, Lisa - great card!!
