Here For You

It's super late, but after I watched Edge of Darkness with Mel Gibson, I couldn't sleep! The best thing for me to do when I can't sleep is read or stamp, so I decided to make a card (typically my favorite choice).



Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #78 was just the right layout for my card (to use another one of those darling poofy flowers), and Arielle's ColourQ Challenge #37 has a gorgeous color combination that I couldn't resist...Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Apricot Appeal, Always Artichoke, and Very Vanilla. The Got You Cornered challenge over at Our Creative Corner is a great reminder to add embellishments to the corners of your project....go check it out:)



I inked up the flower and the sentiment in Old Olive Craft ink, added Clear Embossing Powder, and heat set them. The poofy flower is 6 Scallop Circles stamped with the En Frances background stamp, color spritzed, and crumpled into the middle. After i spread the scallops back out somewhat, I placed a Button Bouquet button laced with Linen Thread in the center of the flower. These are so fun and easy to make...and they always turn out differently, but perfectly:)



Hope you're having a great week, peeps! Go try one of those poofy flowers for yourself...you'll love making it:)
