Hi everyone. I'm thrilled to be among a group of Guest Designers honouring Aileen and Viv from The Flower Challenge #85 - Anything Flowers Goes. These two amazing ladies have run The Flower Challenge for seven years and we are here today to help them celebrate the 7th birthday of the challenge and to also say a fond farewell. Both are stepping down at the end of this challenge. Thank you Aileen and Viv for your wonderful commitment and work to run a successful challenge all these years!!
This is not the end of The Flower Challenge as Karren will be running it starting next month. Way to go Karren!!
I wanted to create a card for both Aileen and Viv, inspired by their beautiful styles and colours they love. Today I'm sharing the card I made to honour Aileen. The card honouring Viv will be posted as a reminder on Oct. 15 ... I hope you'll come back to see it then!
Aileen likes to use blue for flowers and bold designs, so I hope she likes this card. :).

The Flower Challenge is a super challenge thanks to Aileen and Viv for the last 7 years, and hopefully it will have many more years in the capable hands of Karren. It is great to see you as a special GD this time for their 7th birthday celebrations, and such a beautiful watercoloured Altenew flower image, and love the pretty washi tape down the side which finishes it perfectly. x

These colors blended so beautifully together and made a stunning flower card. The washi is a perfect match and great design element.
That is one of my favorite stamps, and its gorgeous in those cool tones.
Oh Loll this card is exquisite. Your beautifully blended blue flowers to honour Aileen is priceless.So soft and feminine. What a great finish with that perfectly matched washi tape. Looooooove it. Looking forward to sweeing your reminder card honouring Viv later in the month.
