Hi Stampers...
Sorry I've been AWOL for a while ... been busy deep cleaning the house now that the painting job is done and the windows are just freshly washed ... guess I could see the grunge better =) ... and also trying to stay cool while we were in the midst of the most recent heat wave (ugh). Those are not compatible, let me tell you.
So, let's make a card. It will last longer and be more fun. I visited one of my favorite challenges this morning (the Color Throwdown) and Wanda Cullen has chosen all my favorite colors ... pistachio pudding, crisp cantaloupe, and coastal cabana... how could I not play??? I immediately thought of my new Flower Patch set with matching framelits from Stampin' Up so that's what I went with. I also needed a sketch as a taking off point so I went to see what Julee Tilman (Mojo Monday) had created this week. Loved the sketch so here it all is....
I ended up making two cards since I had some spare parts when this one was done... I added another flower and leaf to the upper right. Now I'm not sure which I like better ... ?
What I used....
Flower Patch clear polymer stamp set
sentiment from Peaceful Petals
Flower Patch framelits
pearls, score tape, glue dots
inks - coastal cabana, crisp cantaloupe, pistachio pudding,
old olive, bermuda bay to accent
coastal cabana, whisper white card stock
Sweet Sorbet DSP
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look
