I made this card for today's Teapot Tuesday challenge and for last week's Alphabet Challenge for the letter F (in my card the F means Floral and Fauna). Pat is our hostess for the Teapot Tuesday challenge and the theme is "A Friend in Need" and is for a fellow SCS friend. Unfortunately, my creativity went on vacation and did not bother to inform me when she is coming back (sigh) so I am struggling these days. I ended up going through the StampinUp catalog and found a sunflower card on page 139 of the current catalog that I used for today's inspiration. I substituted yellow roses instead of the sunflowers and I stamped the blue bg rather than water coloring it. Actually, I did water color a bg, but I did not care for it at all with the flower images I am using. The flowers and leaves all use 3 layers of stamping to achieve their look, then I fussy cut the roses and leaves out using a scissors. I was all done with the card when I decided to erase a little glue mark away from the bottom rose when disaster hit. I erased gently, but it still tore the paper away so the glue must have still been slightly wet. I could have cried! Well, it was an opportunity to embellish so I stamped these 2 little butterflies, colored them with alcohol markers, punched them out and they just covered the bare spots left from my erasing. Whew! Thanks for looking today! ~Karen.
