I figured if there was going to be a lot of wind, I'ld like to make the most of it, so I stamped my windmill. I masked the windmill, and clouds with a post it note. I brayered over the top with blue for the sky. I colored the image in with prisma colored pencils. On the small panel I stamped a flourish to look like the wind. On the long skinny panel, I embossed white cardstock using my fiskars texture plate and an embossing stylus. I then brayered over the top with blue. I brayered the base of the card to match the 3 panels. I added a gingham ribbon and 2 buttons for the DDC challege to add a button to our card. I actually had 3 but when it came time to glue it to the card, I knocked one to the floor and couldn't find it. Has that ever happened to you? I looked everywhere and it is like it disappeared. I am thinking that the WINDSTORM came and blew it away!

This is beyond gorgeous! All of the elements are just perfect. Love how you worked it into several challenges. Yes, I have dropped a brad or button and it disappeared too! Very frustrating, but you'll find it eventually! Beautiful card, MariLynn!
