I am back @ work today, but still not 100% - who knows, today may be more restful... I never knew staying home sick wasn't very helpful if you have 2 kids in the house! At one point I even told Jeff I was going to run away! I am feeling somewhat better ~ thank you all for your 'get well' wishes!
Riley chose beautiful spring colors for this week's Color Dare, I had so much fun with them! I knew I wanted to do a flower, so I paired her colors with the sketch over at The Pink Elephant, it seemed perfect!
I loved the effect embossing die cut flowers had on a card I made last week, so I re-created it with this flower made from the Flower Layers die. I actually inked the EF with Summer Sun ink before I embossed it to add a little more texture/depth. The center of the flower is faux quilted... I used my 1/4 inch punch for this. Those squares were so tiny ~ you may never see me do THAT again - LOL! Now here's a confession: It was 1am when I was finishing this card, and when I stamped the sentiment, I originally stamped it onto the polka dot paper... but it was waaaay crooked! So I added the tag! And when I tilted it to cover up the mistake, it looked pretty cool ~ I think I like it better that way!
Hope you have a beautiful day & don't forget to play along at the Color Dare this week!
