Hi! this card was made for today's Sketch Challenge and Speedy's Friends Challenge to use at least 3 flowers on a card.
It's hot...really hot! And, it's 12:12AM, and I'm "glistening." (Y'all know that we ladies in the South do NOT sweat, we glisten, right?) Well, I'm not happy, because I'm also suffering from my "Personal Summer!" I'm serious...I'm sooooooooo hot, tired and cranky that I feel like ...Ooops, I almost mentioned one of my ELDERS! LOL
So, to help me NOT be so cranky, I decided to stamp tonight. I used Memento Markers to color the stamp and then stamped it onto Premium Colored Pencil Paper. (This is the image inside the Pears in Pears and Hollyhock). I sponged in Palette Nude VERY lightly around the edges and colored in the blooms with Memento markers.
The bottom panel was stamped with a SNEAK PEEK from Background Fun.
I finished it off with a Sneak Peek of our Hat pins, dots and a butterfly charm.
Finished card size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Time to complete: 41 minutes... I had to go and put my head in the FREEZER to cool off...TWICE!
