I also HAD to play along with Mona's color challenge again, because I can never resist the pretty color combo's she uses...
I used one of my 6-for-a-buck glittered star ornament treasures I had found at Hobby Lobby at Christmas and had set aside for the right project. I also used a new tool my wonderful friend, Susan, (who knows how much I like making my own flower embellishments) got me: this punch that I used with creme cardstock...
to make this...
I realize there's not always time to make flowers one-petal-at-a-time, but when there is...it sure is fun! (I love it, Susan!! Thank you again for such a "me" gift!!) By the way, I was inspired by Sue, on the DT (HERE), who used a similar punch. I used mine to form a rose rather than a pansy. I also used some Melissa Frances paper (pink) and some older Stampin' Up paper (lavender calico--thanks for that too, Susan!). 
The little "Bravo!" sentiment and the little pink "scrollie" accents along the top are the Waltzing Mouse contributions. Hopefully, I can incorporate more next time (you know, since I have so much to choose from :)
Hope you like it! It was a little adventure that I very much enjoyed!!
Thanks so much for visiting me today!!

I love that puncher..may i know where can i buy that :)? by the way love your card! the flower is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunningly beautiful, that flower is well worth the crafting time :-) Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, your card is gorgeous! Me thinks I'll have to get one of those punches! Your flower is excellent!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my blog. They did consider me but I did not get the DT position. They were looking for more scrapbooking posts and I don't think I even have any. I have made quite a few scrapbooks, several of my daughter which was so nice to have out at her funeral - everyone loved looking at them and getting to know more about her - but I just haven't taken any photos of those pages and posted them on my blog. I'm currently working on a wedding scrapbook for my son & his wife. It's slow-going since my son's MIL wants to help me and she has never done it before. I'm actually a little relieved that I didn't make the DT because I'm not ready to have to meet deadlines like I thought I was. I've suddenly hit a difficult time in my grieving so I'm going to wait awhile before trying out for anymore DT positions. I need to just craft for my own pleasure. It's great therapy for me. :) Thank you so much for caring and stopping by my blog. You are such a sweetie!
Very Beautiful card. The colors are gorgeous and that flower is adorable. Love your papers and embellishements. Also loved your flower on how to make seam binding flowers. I have not seen them before and your video is very helpful on how to make them. Definitely have to try to make them.
