Joanne is our hostess this month at CCEE Stampers and this week she is asking for flowers, flowers, flowers. I have two Recollections floral embellishments but other flowers scattered about my card...some on the dp and others on my die cut.
Also, while I was away last week, I missed the Queen for the Day challenge #102 on Splitcoaststampers. The Queen was Judy Rozema aka StampingQueenJAR. Here is the card I cased. I really loved it. Of course, you can see changes were made. I did keep her sketch, though. Instead of stitches, I used a Sew Stamper. It is a self-inking rolling stamp. I had bought a Sew Easy once and never used it but the heads for the rolling stamp fit the Sew Easy tool it so I decided to try it out. If you would like to see them, go here. Mine was purchased at my scrapbook store. I'm using it on the sentiment panel and is called Burst Stitch.
They even have Doodle Stampers which is awesome for me because I'm afraid of doodling. LOL
Also, I'm entering these challenges:
Divas by Design challenge #125 to use a favorite thing. Mine would be die cuts (listed below).
Let's Ink It Up #21-Show Us Your Flowers
The sentiment is from Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company and is from the stamp set Winter Crocus.
My die on to the top is a Memory Box floral circle and I used a Spellbinders classic large oval die and Spellbinders classic heart die.
The designer paper is Recollections Floral Embellishments and BasicGrey Out of Print collection (giclee double sided). Added crinkled seam binding and it's all finished!

Love the bright and cheerful colours and all those details. I, too, am afraid of doodling, even though it looks so simple and effective when others do it. I'm always scared it will mess up my card.
This is definitely a WOW card, Brenda! The green scrollwork on the white circle really shows off the pretty flower. I've seen those Sew Stamper tools at Hobby Lobby and was intrigued. Thanks for showing it off with your star bursts.
This is awesome Benzi. I like you pretty rose and how them compliment the paper. The circle design piece is so captivating. I have my eye on THAT die too!!! lol But of course I see the ivy again and I am all ga ga over that one as well. So there you have it! Beautifully done!
Bear Hugs,

What fab bright colors, Brenda!! I love the flowers and sentiment, and the dp adds a lot of interest too!!
Oh, such gorgeous background paper, and then those lovely roses too! I'm very impressed with that Sew Stamper and the look it gives. Always thought the Sew Easy looked like more trouble than it was worth, but a self-inking stamp sounds the business.
