Mini Roses


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.

  11. Pat, again CONGRATS on your Gold Star Award for last week's MMSC.

    You have created another beauty this week. I'm in love with that ribbon/flower treatment and you know how I've mentioned on your gallery that I'm a corduroy button lover, so this drew me in right away. Your image is beautifully colored and your whole layout came out wonderful.

    Thanks SO MUCH for joining the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge this week and I hope you can share you talent with us again next week!!

    Hugs
