Pretty Petals



Happy TGIF!!!

I love Fridays....,because of Sharon's and Beate's challenges!!!

I didn't get my creative juices flowing for their last challenge, so I was very happy to see todays.....

Sharon's is about "Flourishes".....who doesn't like that???? Oh my goodness most of my stamps are flowers...

Here is what I created today with the "Pretty Petals " Background Stamp.

I colored the BG stamp with the following Markers -
Old Olive, Pumkin Pie, Real Red and Ochrid Opulence. I do love that combo!!!

I did raise one of the Pumkin Pie flowers up with a Stampin Dimensional and I added a clear gemstone on each flower.

Since Sharon's challenge stands out for simplicity - I had to add the gorgeous new Silver Hardware from SU!!! I bet you can't wait to get you hands on that....- tease!!! LOL!!! You will love it!!!

The sentiment from the "Sweet Serendipity" was randomly colored with the Markers too. ~TFL!!!~
