I am not making as many cards as usual these days, so when I do make a card, I go into " Gumby mode" .... I "STRETCH" the challenges to include more of them. This is a case of shameless challenge hoarding. I started with the bright photo inspiration from the F4A325 challenge - the bright red houses and bike, the pretty green grass, white fence, and country feel gave me the colors for this card. I immediately thought of this dp when I read that the MIX172 was a wallpaper indpiration...the green dp looks like some 1960's wallpaper, and even the stenciled bg looks like wallpaper. The colors work for this week"s CC of real red, sand and cucumber, and the floral image works for the CTO316 spring theme. I used the telescoping technique for the flowers and tucked dome moss between the layers. TFL, Francie

Reading you loud and clear on the "Gumbo" technique of stretching a card over many challenges, but this card really is gorgeous! Love the retro swirly BG layered with the stenciling! Stuffed with miss, you say? What a great way of adding dimension to those glossy flowers!
Awesome card!
