DL.ART Thankful Thursday #204 - Flowers and/or Graduation

Happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's time for a new Thankful Thursday Challenge at DL.ART. The theme this week is Flowers and/or Graduation. If you use the code l01201, Diana will give you 10% off your purchase at DL.ART.


I'm having some major computer issues, so this will be a short post today with fewer pictures and details than usual. I apologize!!


I used both themes for my cards...flowers on graduation cards :) Kaisercraft papers were used for my cards. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.


The top tag pulls out to reveal a gift card holder for the grad. This beautiful crinkle ribbon is Primrose from the Spring Bundle #1.


This gorgeous ribbon is Pink Champagne from the Vintage Vineyard Bundle. Please be sure to stop by DL.ART to see the amazing pictures my design team sisters have created for today's challenge!! Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great day :)

    Well, despite the missing photos LIsa, I can still see that they are your usual stunning creations!! The beautiful papers, flowers, ribbons and die cuts! I'm happy to see that beautiful gauze more clearly in these photos, I'm always teased by the tantalising glimpses we get of it! That trellis die-cut is amazing and the fabulous addition of little pearls is inspired!! I hope you get your computer problems sorted soon my friend, it is a real pain when technology lets you down!! Have a wonderful day my friend! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx

    Stunning cards. I love the diamond die cut and how you framed it. That is so pretty. The colors are so happy and cheerful. I hope your computer snaps out of it. I get so frustrated when mine acts up. I hope it's temporary.

    STUNNING. Love the crinkle ribbon, I did have some at one stage but sadly all used up, maybe more in order. Your colours are just gorgeous, a mixture of pure delight.
    If you celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday have a lovely one and a great weekend.

    Lisa, I love how you "framed" the background die to make a larger card. I will have to snag that idea. Of course, I have to snag a lot of your ideas because I can't help but be inspired every time I visit! This is remarkably beautiful and so wonderfully designed! Hugs, Autumn

    Hi Lisa! Happy Mother's Day! Your cards are lovely, as always, and I love the design! The pull out tag is a fabulous feature, and your pocket is so clever! These colors are just gorgeous, and I have to say, the yellow is my favorite! I hope you computer issues resolve soon! I was just thinking how long it takes for my computer to load a page! I always get up and walk away, because it is so frustrating sitting here waiting. Computer gremlins--uggh! Sending hugs!

    Stunning cards Lisa! You always use the most gorgeous colour combinations! I would normally say my favourite is the pink one, but I have to admit that this yellow is just a burst of sunshine and I love it! The die cut design on the front is so beautiful and I can't believe it's also a pocket to hold a hidden tag, what a brilliant design element...clever girl!! The black sentiment really pops against your pinks and yellows. Gorgeous flower and ribbon arrangements and the layer of cheesecloth is fabulously shabby!! Another inspirational post my friend! hugs :)
