TodayÂ’s FS is Charlene, aka: cookiebaker. Have to admit, I havenÂ’t been in her gallery before today. What a pleasure it was. I chose this card to caseÂ…Â…detailsÂ…..
I was browsing some catalogs, which I usually have many of. Okay, I admit, I am a mail- order kind a gal. I just love getting things delivered to me. DH thinks it’s because of the “shorts wearing men” that bring these deliveries to me! hehe You know, he might just be on to something. haha Not really, he is the only shorts wearing guy for me! What great legs he has!….anyway, I came across this wall hanging picture and I thought, boy if I just cut this out it would look lovely on a card. Didn’t think I’d be using it that soon. It worked perfectly for the card I chose to case.
Before cutting it out, I ran it through the xyron, then put on some cs to make it a little thicker. Then I cut it out, and added some buttons to a few flower centers.
On white cs, I drew the pot, colored with prisma pencils and gamsol, then versa marked and clear ep. Cut the panel out and layered with black cs. Made another panel of white cs layered with black. Stamped itty bitty bgs on both white panels using black and clear ep.
Was happy to open my drawer of misc. ribbon and find one over ¼” wide. So I put this brown ribbon on a kraft card. Made a bow using the easy bow maker.
Put my panels over the ribbon added the bow and popped up the catalog flowers.
Well, hope yaÂ’ll like my card. IÂ’ll be back later to comment, going to hang out in the pool! Â…Â…TFL :0)

What super flowers Cathy! they look porcelin from here - love the dotted bg and hand drawn vase - great day for the pool! It's in the 90's here today!
and yes - that is a new avatar - it's still me but a newer (or older?!!) version - jdmommy told me that my old one wasn't me (???) so I was confused because it was me - but after meeting me in person - she didn't think it was me .... so I had to have the hubs take a new pic of me right after I got home from Anne's so I'd know who I was?!?!?! sometimes the new one shows up - sometimes it's still the old me (or not me) I guess it takes a while to take hold on SCS!?!?!? so I'm glad you recognized the new me - it must be a good picture..... (aren't you sorrry you asked?!?!? LOL!!!)
