Happy Friday to you! Are you thinking TGIF?!
I took some time out last evening to make a card to
enter at one of my favorite challenges The Shabby Tea Room!
Isn't that a lovely inspiration photo? We were to follow
the colors in the photo and make a handmade flower. I
made these flowers before quite awhile back. I learned how
to make them with the help from Colleen Dietrich. If you
want to know how to make them, just send me an email.
I embossed the bottom panel, added doily, ribbon and little
clothespin with twine. The flowers were inked for added
dimension. A sentiment and gems were placed to finish
off the card. Well, I stopped to post this card during
the wonderful sun shining for a good photo. But, I must return to my closet cleaning. And, wouldn't you agree that card
making is so much more fun than cleaning?!:-) Thanks for dropping by today! Take care and have a wonderful Easter, hugs!!:-))
Paper: Bazzill, Prima, Recollections, Stamps: Verve, Ink: SU(Eggplant, Wasabi),
Punch: SU(Scallop Circle for flowers), Martha Stewart, Gems: Paper Studio
Twine: PTI, Doily: Jo-Ann Fabric, Ribbon: Really Reasonable Ribbon, Emboss Folder: SU(Finial Press)
So pretty! Love the flowers and sweet sentiment. :)

What a beautiful birthday card. Your flowers are gorgeous. Yes, I would much rather make a card than clean a closet, although, I must admit I really need to do that myself. Guess it'll have to wait. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm off to work in my yard on this beautiful Saturday. I'll really be tired by night. Ugh!
Have a blessed and wonderful Easter!!!
