Hello dear friends and followers! Tonight I have a card to share with you that I made for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #82. The sketch this week grabbed my attention and I just had to play along. I made my flower from a used coffee filter (rinsed out and dried) and two sizes of the Scallop circle punch (regular and small). I was able to make two flowers (one larger and this one) from one filter. I used my color spritzer tool to add splashes and sprays to the card. Colors used are from Stampin' Up!: Red Riding Hood (soon to retire) Crumb Cake and Summer Starfruit. I wasn't sure if I would like this combo but I already had this embossed panel and ric rac strips sitting on my desk so I thought I'd give it a go. I like how it turned out. A pretty quick card to make thanks to the great sketch that inspired me (see below). I am also entering this card in the Creative Card Crew Challenge #34 - Handmade Flowers.
Gonna make this a short and sweet post tonight as tomorrow is my hubby and daughter's birthdays and I still need to make their cards. Nothing like waiting til the last minute - I'm beginning to think that I only operate well under pressure lately :o)
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit! Til next time... hugs and happy crafting! D
