Good morning everyone....how are you on this wonderful Saturday morning??? I don't have a lot planned for today....my DH went fishing so I have the house to myself for a while. I have to do a little watering and weeding while it's cool...well, I guess 80+ degrees early in the morning is cool...LOL!!! We are supposed to get a little rain this weekend but I'm not holding my breath....we can only hope!!! Anyway....
I made a card for the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast..... Stef picked an awesome store called Leif for us to find a little inspiration. I found my inspiration from this red watch...the red reminded me of Christmas Poinsettias!! The Stamp Oasis Poinsettias from Rubbernecker were colored with Copics, cutout, and adhered to a vanilla oval diecut that was scored diagonally. Spellbinders Floral Oval die was used for the red layer and the background vanilla layers were embossed with the Dotted Swiss embossing folder. The ribbon, silver cording, antique button, and the silver pearls for the flower centers finish it off.
This is also for a few other challenges:
1. Crafting for all Seasons - bright colors
2. Just Keep on Creating - Christmas
3. Whimsy Stamps Inspiration Challenge - layers
4. Celebrate the Occasion - Christmas in August
Thanks for visiting....have a great weekend!!!
