The Flower Challenge #45 - Reminder

There still time to make your card for this month's The Flower Challenge.

I pulled out one of my all time favorite stamp sets for my card.

PTI's Meadow Greens.  I thought the heat embossed Queen Anne's Lace would show up beautifully on the navy cardstock.  One of the few colored embossing powders I have is this lime green and it worked great to add my other color.  Another sympathy card for my stash.

Our guest designer Jenny Hall and the other designers have cards for you to be inspired by.  Please go on over to The Flower Challenge to check them out.

Inspired By All the Little Things #81

The first thing I thought of when I saw the photo for Inspired By All the Little Things was my favorite PTI stamp Meadow Greens which features some lovely Queen Anne's Lace.  It took a while to come up with a design but a card finally came together.

I stamped the jar and then covered it with rubber cement so I could do a DOX smooshed background.  When it was dry I stamped and heat embossed the flowers and added some color to the jar.  I glued twine around the jar top and added a sentiment tag and bow.

Thanks so much for dropping by.  I love it when you do.

The Card Concept #85 and Seize the Birthday

This is my third post today but I need to get this card in before the deadline.  It's for The Card Concept inspired by their photo.

My eyes gravitated to the Queen Anne's Lace which some people consider weeds and other are allergic to. I love the look of them and so PTI's Meadow Greens is one of my favorite stamps.

I combined them with Altenew's Beautiful Day.  The background is some DSP  that I inked with Frayed Burlap DI to tone it down a little.  Here's what it looked like after and before.

I'm always neglecting to send my birthday cards to Seize the Birthday so I'm going to remedy that and send this one to them - without the candles topping.

Off to watch the Super Bowl and maybe do a little knitting while I watch to get a prayer shawl done.  It's been hanging around partially done for too long.
