Primrose

We're under a tornado watch with a promise of worse weather this afternoon, so I am going to hurry up with this post in case I need to leave my house for a shelter, which is very likely.

I made the card for these challenges: QFTD56 on SplitcoastStampers. The Queen is CarrollAnn aka MrsBoz. I chose this card of hers to case. I made some changes, of course, but used her layout and a punch
around the page.

I colored my image with Copics, cut out leaves, curled them a bit, and popped them. I sponged around the flower while still in the Spellbinders Labels14 die cut. Added ribbon and a pearl. The punch around the page is a Martha Stewart called Flower Patch.

Hopefully the storm passed you over. We are getting it during the night tonight. Funny how it travels across the U.S. I am thinking they said 2 inches of rain. My poor garden. This is so pretty Brenda. I love the colors. I love that punch around the edges. Gives it a great look.. Super card.

Oooh Brenda, this is soooo pretty! LOVE that fab primrose and your fancy border just frames it beautifully.
Your weather sounds really terrifying ... strong wind always scares me, so I think I'd be the first one banging on the door of the shelter! Hope you're OK!

Pretty, glow-y sponging around that primrose. Love how you popped it up for lots of dimension. :) Hugs to you.
