River Rock, Well Worn & Fifth Ave. Floral

Hi everyone and a very happy Wednesday to all! 

Well it finally happened – always wondered what I would do – and I did… go absolutely crazy without the internet for the last 4 days! And on a Holiday weekend at that!  As a result I am behind in emails, postings and paying my BILLS!! LOL  The thing is….I’m an early riser and without the internet, I was definitely a lost ball in tall grass. Hopefully all is fixed and I can get back to normal.

I was just introduced to brand new challenge blog called “Freshly Made Sketches”  they can be found by looking HERE.  I hope you can find the time to make a card and join in on the fun!  Here is the sketch they are providing us with this week ~

                

This is my entry, a card reflecting a stamp from the Fifth Avenue Floral set paired with River Rock and Well Worn DSP.  I hope you like it ~

        

The flower was colored with my blender pen and ink pads.  Besides the coloring, I wanted this flower to be slightly different than the other two, so  I decided  to stamp it with an additional stamp, from the Itty Bitty Backgrounds stamp set – that gave me the tiny little circles.  All three flowers were stamped on Beau Chateau DSP.

           

The leaves were from a MS punch sponged with Old Olive and Chocolate Chip inks.  With the touch of ribbon, lace and a button from my button collection, I think all turned out well.

Here’s a look inside ~

              

Supplies needed ~ all are SU! unless otherwise noted
