October Flower-of-the-Month - Calendula!

Hello, I am continuing with my self-imposed Flower-of-the-Month challenge. I am using stamps in my stash that go along with the traditional Birth Flowers.  October’s flower is the Calendula, also known as the English Marigold.  It comes in yellows, oranges and peach.  It really is a pretty flower for fall colors. (Click HERE to see all my Flower of the Month posts for 2018.)


I colored my stamp with alcohol markers and fussy cut it out.  I popped it up over my die cut, added a ribbon. I had that sentiment already sitting on my desk from a previous project idea.  I found this fabulous plaid paper that I think looks perfect.



Supplies:  I Brake for Stamps October Calendula, Sentiment stamp set, Memento black ink, Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, Gina Marie x stitched rectangles, Carta Bella Beach Day 6x6 paper pad, Kraft cardstock from Hobby Lobby, other items from my stash.

I do have another Calendula image, so I hope to have a second card for my series this month. I just need to find it! 

Thanks for visiting today and for your kind comments.  I appreciate each comment and follower! Have a crafty day!
