The challenge at Dies R Us Challenge Blog this time is Birthday. I don't know about you, but I send more birthday cards than anything else. I just got a new Elizabeth Craft lace frame die from the DIES R US STORE so I started with that. I sponged a little color on the center of the die cut.
Then I grabbed one of my potted die cuts. I usually color two or three when I have my markers out so I have some when I want to create. Most of you who visit my blog on a regular basis know that I love making paper flowers. I usually make them in front of the TV while I watch a Hallmark movie with my hubby. All of the flowers in the pot were in my stash so this card only took me fifteen minutes to make because the only thing I had to cut was the lace frame, the Queen Anne's lace and the Happy birthday and then assemble the card.
These are the dies I used from the DIES R US STORE.
Hope you find some time to join us for the challenge.
I remember you telling me that you made your flowers while watching TV and I did that too for awhile. I has very happy this week when I opened the box of completed flowers that I did and popped them onto a card. I call my box, Kathy's box. Lol I could never make flowers as beautiful as you, nor can I arrange them in a beautiful bouquet like this one in a vase. I love the addition of the pot and the background is a great accent for the total design. I think I will make some flowers today. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou've infected Barb! LOL Do me over the winter months please!!! Gorgeous all over! I still stand by saying that no one, NO ONE is a more perfect paper gardener than you my dear! This is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Kathy! I like to have images and such on hand too, for quick and easy cards. That's a great idea to make the more intricate flowers while watching HM on tv. You make the most beautiful floral arrangements on paper I've ever seen and you're such an inspiration.
