I really love this week's sketch and can you believe it - I actually forgot an element. It was too late to undo what I did and in the famous words of Jennifer McGuire, never restart a card. It's the Judged Challenge, so the twist is flowers. My flower is an svg cut by Lori Whitlock (she's a favorite, too). I think I need to learn what prickly pear flowers are and how these are supposed to go together. For being 3D, it looks a little flat.
I am still very pleased with the results. I've also been playing around with watercolor. The background features a technique that I learned from yet another Stampin' Up! commercial on You Tube. The video artist is Audrey and you can find it here. She seems very sweet. I still have a lot to learn with the technique that she's showing, but still it was fun to try.
The tiny bow above the flower is a die by Mama Elephant. I think they're becoming a favorite to me just because of the name! This die was all of $5 and only Ellen Hutson had it in stock!
Well, that's it for me today. Head on over to the TMS blog to play along.
5 Encouraging Thoughts:
Very lovely card! I like all of the elements (especially that tiny little bow -- too sweet). I think your flower is quite lovely -- guess I need to research, too, because I can't say I know what a Prickly Pear looks like, either. No sweat, though, it is still quite a pretty card!
I'm gonna need that bow! So CUTE! And I have no idea what a Prickly Pear flower looks like - and I think THIS looks awesome :) I love the colours!
So pretty...love that flower!
Lovely card Melissa, the big flower is so pretty.
I LOVE this flower!! I saw some prickly pear flowers when I was in AZ but I like the color of yours better! :)
That bow die is so cute!!
