This is a card I made for a challenge with a small group of friends. We were supposed to use a flower and specific colors. This is my story!
1. I got this fun flower image from Artystamper (Thanks Julia!)
2. When you get images from fellow SCSer's it's a little stressful because if you mess things up you can't just stamp another. She sent me a total of 6 and I want to make 6 cards with them not 2 that I wasted 4 on and decorated my trash can! KWIM?
3. I sorta thought it would be cool to snip the double lines of these flowers....so after cuttlebuggin, sponging, much hesitation and hyperventilating, I went for it!
5. With a snip, snip here and a snip, snip there, my heart skipping a few beats and me setting a personal record for holding my breath...it worked out pretty cool! It looks good...better in real life than in the picture. I like making that statement cuz let's face it, you guys will never really know!

Love all the layers, texture, brads, the pretty blingy button, the scallops and the way you used 2 different ribbons. Very pretty-you did an awesome job.

Your card looks wonderful Cindy! I know how you feel about not wanting to mess up gift images. I keep staring at the ones you sent me and I'm afraid to actually touch them. I may copy them on a machine and mess those up before actually working with the real ones.
