Good Morning. It's Tuesday and usually I'm pretty excited about today and I am but I'm sad too because the holiday weekend was fabulous for me. I crafted the entire weekend. I didn't make much headway on the baby blanket, but I made several projects to share with you this month so that's a good thing.
It's is Tuesday which means their is a new sketch up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this one was created by Laura. I did omit an element from her original sketch - ooops! This week's sponsor is Floppy Latte digital designs. My team created their cards using the images Floppy Latte provided so I took the opportunity to play with my stuff. Here's what I created....
I am so thrilled with this card! You all know how much I love flowers and I love making them, too. I guess I can share this since it never happened. I applied and was accepted to the McGill Punches design team and then it never happened. The person who was in-charge stepped down and I never heard from the person that took over. Oh well. Creativity goes on. I created this flower using Spellbinders Foliage Shapeabilities. Yep, even the flower was created with what's intended to be a leaf. I cut out the leaves, ahem, petals out of Elegant Eggplant card stock and then embossed 4 petals with Fancy Florals embossing folder and the other 4 petals with Baby's Breath embossing folder. I inked them a bit to give a bit of richness and depth. I couldn't find an interested button or brad to go in the center but I found these faux brads in one of the drawers and used it. Then I embossed a vanilla panel with Vines embossing folder by Paper Studio.
I think it turned out absolutely gorgeous! I hope you like it, too.
I'm going to link it this one to The Kraft Journal's CAS challenge. I think it fits. If not, that's OK, too. See you over at TMS.
