I'm home from being out of town and trying to catch up. I don't want t miss Joan's Gardens challenge this week so I jumped right on it this morning. Here are the requirements:
Your card should have corner embellishments
Use green and blue
Add flowers of some kind
Use an oval background
I also want to enter the challenge at Simon Say Stamp challenge-Anything Goes!
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #14-"Text Me" -More than 4 words enters you into the drawing twice
Stamp: Hero Arts-Special Birthday
I got to use some new dies I ordered from Joan and they are so much fun. The little bird, birdhouse, and ivy vine are from Marianne Designs Creatables. Eek! I just noticed I forgot to place my bird on the card. Well, I'll just use it another time.
For the flowers, I used a Martha Stewart hydrangea punch. My oval is Spellbinders classic large ovals and the side panel uses the Martha Stewart iron gate edge punch. The corners are Spellbinders Shapeabilities Pendants-Contemporary Hearts
Paper: Stampin'Up! Certainly Celery cs and PTI vintage cream cardstock, DP is Recollection Blue Flower and Recollections Hot Pink Floral with green on opposite side (I used the green only)
