Purple Bellflowers

 Hi, friends,

I'm still learning how to piece together layered flowers. Boy, these can be tricky. I like that Altenew puts these little keys and arrows in each petal so we know better how to line each one on top of each other. But I still find it difficult, especially if my hands start shaking.

Altenew is having a challenge this month using the colors Purple, Orange and Olive. Here is a LINK to see the samples as well as the entries. I love deep purple and periwinkle (heh heh heh, look at my blog name) but combing it with orange is a hard one so I kept mine more of a golden yellow orange. I hope lots of my old cardmaking buddies are still actively making cards. Take very good care and thank you for stopping by!
