Hello everyone! This card was a pleasure to create; it came out just like I envisioned it in my head. Don't you love when that happens?
I used the Midnight Madness sketch #67 (MMSC67) as my starting point... What a dream to work with!
Now on to the image... This week's Speedy-the-Cat's Friends Challenge #16 is "Think Flowers". Now how easy is that, especially since I have been dying to play with my Mini Roses image from the Doodle Pantry. I also added a large silk flower to the ribbon.
The final element I added to my creation was inspired by the One Stitch at a Time Challenge #26 -- use a punch or punches on your creation. To add balance to my design, I stacked 3 corners (punched out with my handy-dandy corner punch). I am really happy with how this came out. Hope you like it too!
I am so glad you were able to visit today. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Supplies: Stamps - Mini Roses by the Doodle Pantry; Paper - GP white, K&Co. DSP, SU! crumb cake (kraft), Recollection shimmery cardstock in a shade of blueish-green, generic ivory base; Ink - Copic Markers for coloring, Gold Spica Marker for accenting the flowers and flower pot; Accessories - EK Success corner punch, SU! kraft corduroy brads, silk flower from Mike's, CTMC liquid glass which I applied to the individual flowers, Spellbinders dies, dimensionals and ribbon from my stash that I have had forever.
