You know how people sometimes stamp a scene, then cut it up and put each piece on a panel? I love that look. I have wanted to use this stamp set for a while, but I didn't want to use it in the "normal" way, if you know what I mean. Plus I couldn't think of what to put on each section of the lovely sketch for today's challenge. So here is what I did........
I thought doing what I did here would be a snap! Boy was I wrong. It took a little longer than I planned. Oh well, I still had so much fun. I used only white cs. I cut my squares, layered them on top of a white panel. Inked up my stamp using marvy brush markers and then huffed on them before stamping. See, what could take so long when you only stamp one thing?! After I stamped my image, I versa marked and clear eb it. Okay, I stamped two things. I needed an extra flower for the circle. Maybe that's what took longer! LOL
Sponged bashful blue around the images, then sponged each square a different color.
Cut out more squares a little larger, sponged the edges chocolate chip. Then glued the other squares on top. Paper pierced the corners of the squares. Put this all together on top of the main panel, then put it on top of a white card that I sponged edges with choc. chip.
Layered the circle with another circle that was sponged, then popped it up over top of a like flower.
I think the hardest part of this whole card was coming up with a name for it. As you can see, I didn't really name it, just sort of described it. Oh well! Sentiment to be added later! .......TFL :0)

Wow, sis, your think so far out of the box you cannot even see the box. This is beautiful. I agree with the comment that is looks like a watercolor painting. You can see the love you have in making cards because you are not afraid to try anything. I also appreciate your stories and the total recipe to challenge our abilities. Thanks, sis. I am proud of you!!
