cQc#37 and SSW#54 and C4C42 and that fab flower:)




Wow...I've just completed a combination challenge using colours from colourQ and sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday...the wow thing is the fab paper flower that I've made...thanks to Gardenia at alittlelessuseless for sharing her gorgeous flower creations!! I'm thinking this will be the first flower of many that may pop up from my craft table!! The colourQ colours were Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Apricot Appeal, Always Artichoke and Vanilla...the sketch just called out for fab flower - layer upon layer of scallop circles, crimped and crunched:) but click here to pop over to alittlelessuseless for a way better description on how to make them...lol!! It's the first time I've used my Stampin' Up! Two-Step Bird punch too!!What an exciting way to start the weekend with...I actually began creating the card last night...popped back to the creation a couple of times in between breaky, fishing, packing boxes, lunch and have managed to post it before heading out for afternoon! Although it seems to be working just having it there to 'play' with as I'm walking by the study!! a bit here and a bit there!! So much crafting to do...so little time:) ps...Ooo just noticed that this weeks Crazy 4 Challenges is all about paper flowers...so I'm going to pop it in for that challenge too - bonus!!

  1. Your card is absolutely stunning. And you did a wonderful job on that beautful flower. They are really fun to make and I love the fact that they cost so little. It is amazing what we can do with our own little hands....It looks like I am going to have to get that bird from stamping Up. That is just too cute. Anyway, Your card is wonderful and glad you stopped by to see that you were a winner of our blog hop! Congratulations!
