Isn't this photo just gorgeous! All those bright vribrant colours are sure to inspire anyone. Here is what I came up with ...
I'm not sure what's up with my camera but my photo's are coming out a bit grainy. I'm sure it's my camera and NOT me! Then again is it?
I was really wanting to get a little creative and make my own flower. Hah ... don't think I'll do that again, at least not the way I did it. So I took white tissue paper and stamped it with Background Basics: Text Style (PTI) in light pink and dark pink ink. Now this is the ridiculous part, I used hand punches and 4 different sizes!!! The tissue paper kept getting stuck in the punches and when I tried to take them out they riped! Thank goodness I planned on scrunching them all up after! I should have used nestabilities or other flower DIES that I have I think, no ... I KNOW it would have been a lot easier and less time consuming. Oh well, in the end I liked the result and I guess that's what counts. Trust me though ... do NOT use punches with tissue paper! LOL.
I sewed a pink button to the centre of the tissue flower and then added some stickles and lastly a little pearl in the centre of that. I put the flower aside and then stamped a leaf silhouette from one of Kim Hughes collections from Cornish Heritage Farms. Hey, speaking of Cornish Heritage Farms ... did you know that the website is having a Re-Grand Opening on November 19th? If you remember or even if you don't remember the old store and you're interested in seeing what's coming up click here. Right, so as I was saying ... I stamped the leaves direct to the card front and then used a white pen to add some little specks on the leaves. I made the frame that the sentiment from CDS - Words of Sympathy is in using a combination of nestabilities, Labels Eighteen and Classic Ovals. Lastly I used the white pen again and traced around the border of the frame.
Here's a close up of the flower ...
Well that's it for today ... actually that's enough, I think I talked your ear off. More than I usually do! I hope you enjoyed what I had to share with you today and thanks for stopping by!
Until next time,

Love the card. I like the sentiment inked in blue - it really sets it off. I made a flower out of tissue paper once - from nestabilities - and I love it! Makes me want to do it again. Very pretty card - very creative the way you've brought it all together. Love it!
what a wonderful pink flower you have created!! and the die cut frame looks elegant and fitting to the inspiration photo!!
Hey Monique! Thanks for linking this up to this week's Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
