Flourishes Timeless Tuesday - FTTC51!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

I was a total slacker this weekend.....how about you?!? I sooooo need this little break :) I did a little stampin' yesterday and finished up my Flourishes Timeless Tuesday project for today!!!

Talking about today's FTTC51 Challenge.....we have a Guest Designer!!! It's no other than my sweet blogging friend *Pat Adam* also known as *The Rubber Maid*. Pat is hosting today's Challenge and here is what she is challenging us with in her own words......!!!

"For this week's challenge be inspired by the letter *P*. Sounds a bit crazy, but not really if you think about it for a bit. I'm thinking pink, pearls, poppies, purple, punches, and piercing. Do you get the picture? Sure you do so let's get moving and make those perfectly pretty and positively pleasing presentations. Don't think you've been challenged in this way before, so I will be excited to see how you all do." Pat







I used the beautiful Sweet Violets Set on the card and box. The sentiment on the card is from the brand new Taglines Set. The images were inked in Memento Black and colored with these Copic Marker Collections - Hollyhock, Dahlia and Holly.

Here are all the *P*'s I used on my card..... the color *pink*, *piercing*, *punches*,*pearls* and I added a *present* on the side :) !!!

I combined this project with a few different challenges.....my main inspiration came from this weeks FS155 - Karen Barber. I chose to case this beautiful card from her!!! I changed the layout to the CCEE1003 Sketch. I added *pink* for the C4C21 Challenge and a touch of *green* for the SSCC23 Challenge. Adding Design Paper was this weeks CAS51 Challenge. The box idea came from the JUGS17 - Template Challenge. My template is from Stampin' Up.... if you are interested in this templae pls e-mail me and I'll send you the pdf.file.

Please make sure to stop by Betty, Cindy, Dee, Maki and Pat's blog to see their take on the Challenge!!!

Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by!!!
