I used my Papertrey felt, buttons, and Beautiful Blooms dies, along with a little calico fabric and some tulle to create the layered flowers. For the rolled flower, I used a Spellbinder circle--I think it was 1 1/2"--and cut in a circular/spiral fashion to the center...then started rolling/wrapping from the center out. That was the first time I had tried one of those. It was fun and easy to make...I'll definitely be trying that again. The sentimet (Inkadinkado) fit nicely inside the Mat Stack 1 die and stamped frame (Papertrey).
I really love this little card--I don't even mind saying. It's just so bright and cheery!! And I love the brights and the white on the soft Kraft cardstock. This is the first time I've used my Victorian Lace die (Papertrey)...LOVE it!! And I've just got a little taste of my Love Lives Here set with the little butterfly...can't wait to use it in a little more soft and shabby manner ;)The style of the card is a little different for me, would you say? PaperCrafts goes for a little more simple...a little less fussy than what I post here on my little blog. What I've submitted over that last several months would probably surprise you. Obviously this card wasn't accepted...or I wouldn't be able to post it. But, the really GOOD news is that another one I submitted at the same time WAS accepted!!! Can I get a WOO HOO?!? I was so very excited--a first for me!! It has certainly given my spirits a lift, and has put a little spring in this ole mama's step!!
But, right now, this ole mama's tired, and I think I'm headin' to bed (if I can get the critters settled down!). Hope you've had a productive week and are ready for a relaxing weekend! I think we've got a fun one ahead!
See you next time!
