Zig Zag Flower

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great week! Friday can't get here soon enough! Nick has a bike race this weekend and I can't wait to get to some cooler weather! I have so much to do around here but I am looking forward to getting away. I can't believe that we have been in school for three weeks now! Wow! It's going fast but there are times when I feel like I have been there for months - lol! 

For today's card I challenged myself to use this set, Flower Patch. I have had it for a while but I think I have only used it once! So I created this simple card!

• Card base is Whisper White
• On another piece of Whisper White stamp the zig zag lines image from Stamp a Bag stamp set twice using Cucumber Crush ink
• Stamp the greeting from Flower Patch onto the panel using Tuxedo black Momento ink then adhere panel to card base
• On another piece of Whisper White stamp the flower from Flower Patch using Hello Honey ink and cut out using the coordinating Flower Fair framelits
• Stamp the leafy stem image twice onto a piece of Cucumber Crush card stock using Cucumber Crush ink and cut out using the Flower Fair framelits
• Adhere the leaves to the back of the flower and then adhere the flower to the card with dimensionals
• Tie a piece of linen thread through a silver basic metal button and tie a bow then adhere to flower center
• Add rhinestones

Good morning! It's Thursday and time for another challenge from the Create with Connie and Mary team! This week we have a sketch for you!

I have to admit that I stared at this sketch for a long time. Yes, the strips are easy enough - washi tape, dsp, stamps... But I could figure out what to do after that! Ugh! Nothing I did seemed to look right. Everything seemed so unbalanced. Finally this came together and I was satisfied!

I hadn't used my Flower Patch stamps all that much so that's what I went with! I wanted to use some fall like colors to go with the time of year. 

• Card base is Whisper White
• On another piece of Whisper White, adhere two pieces of the Color Me Autumn washi tape
• Stamp the greeting from Flower Patch onto the panel using Blackberry Bliss ink then adhere panel to card with dimensionals
• Stamp the main flower image onto a piece of Whisper White using Hello Honey ink and the center part using Soft Suede ink then cut out using the Flower Fair framelits
• Stamp the leaves onto a piece of Whisper White using Mossy Meadow ink and cut out using the Flower Fair framelits
• Adhere the leaves to the back of the flower then adhere flower to card with dimensionals
• Thread a piece of linen thread through a gold basic metal button and tie a bow then adhere to flower center

Flower Patch Birthday

Hello everyone! Are you ready for the weekend? I know I am!! I have a lot to get done this weekend! And Nick has his first high school JV soccer game tomorrow! He gets to travel with the team to Glenwood Springs! I am so excited for him! We will go watch as this game is not that far away and it's tomorrow morning. But as soon as I get back... I really hope I can get focused! This work thing can get in the way but I do like my job!

Today's card started out as one thing and ended up here - lol! I just got this set and the matching framelits and wanted to try them out. I think these flowers are really going to be fun!!

• Card base is Island Indigo
• Adhere a strip of All Abloom designer paper to card base
• Cut a circle from Whisper White and one from Strawberry Slush using the circles framelits
• Stamp the greeting from Flower Patch onto the Whisper White circle using Island Indigo ink then adhere to Strawberry Slush circle and then adhere to card with dimensionals
• Stamp the flower image with Daffodil Delight and the leaf image twice with Mossy Meadow ink onto Whisper White and cut out using the Flower Fair framelits

Pretty easy! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
