I'm one happy camper, because my girls are finally back to school...YEAH! I love having my life back and I'm glad my girls are back to a structured scheduled...LOL! I'm also continuing my regular stampin' schedule for C4C and ODBD. I also excited showing off another card on Thursday...so stay tuned!!!
Today, I'm back with the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge ~ FTTC129. Betty is our hostess and she is challenging to create a card/project with your*FAVORITE FLOWERS* or *FLOWER*.
Here are my ideas.....
For my first card I used the beautiful Zinnias Set. My flower image was inked in Memento London Fog and colored with these Copic Markers ~ BV000, BV00, V15, C2, YG11, G21, G24 and RV000. As you can tell I added some scoring in the background. My inspiration for this card came from the awesome Paper Players Sketch #57 and the colors are from the CR84FN35 combo....did someone say lavender :) ...yeah?!?
**********************************************************************************************************
Next is my card for this weeks Card Pattern Sketch #126 and you guessed it right I had to use the CR84FN35 colors again...did I mention I really like them...LOL?!?
Here is my take on it......................
For this card I used the beautiful sentiment from the Zinnias Set...can you tell this Set has it all...beautiful flowers and quotes!!! I added some scoring in the background and embellished the card with some fabbo Flowers, Design Paper, Spellbinder Die, Silver Pearls, Lavender Moon Ribbon, Button, Scrapper's Floss, a punched out MS Flower Border & Butterfly.
Okay you all, now it's time to check out all the ideas the the team had ~ Cindy, Heather, Maki, Tammy and Betty. Please also help us welcome our newest team member Beate and our new August Guest Designer Allison Cope.
Thank you for stopping by today and I'm looking forward to showing you a new card on Thursday...see ya then.....
