Today's Blogger's Challenge was to copy a layout on Page 65 of the Stampin' Up! Catalog. I am yearning for spring in the worst way, so I decided to create my own spring-like card with this challenge. What is more springy than yellow and purple?
The circle on the left is a piece made using the Watercolor Distress technique from the February 2007 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. The vase of flowers and the flower on the end of "bloom" were colored using the Gamsol Pearls technique from the April 2006 issue of the Newsletter. (I don't know why I made this so small, but you can double-click on it to make it larger if you are so inclined).
The stamps are from Stampin' Up!; and the ribbon was in the dollar bin at Michaels (I MUST stop buying ribbon! This is an addiction!).
I hope you have a chance to look at the other creations made by the Blogger's Challenge players -- the links to their blogs are on my sidebar.
Wonderful Pat...I love how your sentiment grows right out of the bloom. Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteDelightful Pat...the watercolor distress is so pretty with this image. How cool to line up your word with the flower...excellent job...
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card, that technique looks perfect behind those beautiful flowers. And the flower at the end of the sentiment is wonderful. You rock. By the way, you were the inspiration for my card today -- it's all your fault, lol.
