Flowers, Flowers, and more Flowers!!

After spending 3 hours in the dentist's chair this morning, it sure was nice to get into my craft room, especially before the pain meds wore off...LOL!! The dentist completed the 3 root canals he started last Thursday but had a heck of a time finding my calcified roots....I think I would rather have a baby than go through that again!!!!! Anyway...

The Ways to Use It Challenge on Splitcoast was to use distressing. This is also for the Queen for the Day challenge #8 to honor Lynn (allee's). Lynn has such a fabulous gallery....I finally picked her allee's CAS58 card to case. I kept the same basic layout, theme, and colors. I added the oval distressed image layer and matting, Groovy Guave ribbon and butterflies with pearls. I changed the stamps to Nina Brackett's Lovely Shelf set, changed the designer paper to Stampin Up!, and added the scalloped border at the bottom. Lynn...I hope you have enjoyed you week with the crown...you are sooo deserving!!!!!!

I made this card last Tuesday for the Color Challenge on Splitcoast to use Melon Mambo and Soft Suede with a dessert option to use wood grained something.

The kite and dandelion images from Clear Dollar Stamps Air Flair set were stamped with Melon Mambo and the stems and sentiment were stamped the Soft Suede. The kite was stamped twice and one was cutout and popped up with dimensionals. The resin frame was colored with a copic to look like wood and the buttons, ribbon, and punched background finish it off.

The Featured Stamper on Splitcoast Sunday was Lori (ltecler)!! Congrats, Lori!!! What a fabulous gallery...I found several cards I wanted to case but finally settled on Lori's USCAC5 You are Fabulous card. I kept the same layout but changed the colors, papers, and the stamps to Clear Dollar Stamps Tag Blessings. The image was stamped with Elegant Eggplant onto Prism Iced Yellow and the paper is BoBunny's Jazmyne.
