Flowers for My Friend

Happy Tuesday!  

Well, after a bluster and rainy night, the temperature outside has dropped again.  It's rather cool outside, and I'm wondering , "will it ever stay warm?"  I am so ready for the shorts, tank tops, swimming and basking in the sunshine already >sigh!<  I'm such a sun worshipper! LOL!  So here is a card that makes me think of warmer weather....


As usual, all of the flowers on this card are handmade by yours truly - I am thinking I will probably never get over my paper flower making obsession!  I really wanted to showcase the flowers on this card, so I kept the layout clean and simple.  I used my Nesties Label #10 to create a frame for the sentiment, then embossed it, using Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. I finished off this creation with a border (MS Lattice), and the pearl trim.  Viola!   This card makes me think of a lovely, sunshiny, Spring Day....

I created this card for  card swap, and also entered it in the following challenges:
 One Stitch At A Time Challenge #10 - "Flowers"

Our Creative Corner Challenge - "Blooming Blossoms"

Paper Play Challenge #16 - "No Patterned Paper"

Sisterhood of Scrap - "Flowers"

A Spoon Full of Sugar - "3-D Something"

Thanks for visiting! Please leave me a comment to let me know you stopped by!

A Monochromatic Floral-Shabby Twisted Sketch with Wings!

Hah! Try saying that 10 times! LOL It was so hot outside today - 97 degrees.  Ugh!  I thought I'd jump in the pool to cool off, but even the pool was too hot!  Seriously, there is such a thing... So, I spent most of the day in the comfort of our air conditioned craft room.  Here is my hot summer day creation :   I love the theme for this card, "A Monochromatic Floral-Shabby Twisted Sketch with Wings!"  which is a combination of a few different challenges Here is the inside of the card, also a pop-up, although I was not able to get a better picture...  Look at the little butterflies dangling on the twine! All of the "designer paper" for this card is hand stamped by MOI - I so rarely ever use printed designer paper because I love, love creating my own!
