Hello friends!
I made a mostly green card for two challenges today. This one was quick seeing as how the SSS Feathery Fronds background was already embossed and brushed with green ink. I'd accidently smudged a spot on the very edge of the card and that's how the sentiment flag came to be there. With that simple design being my basic layout it needed some flowers against the fronds, and a birthday sentiment for Seize the Birthday, and I found both, plus the butterfly, in my SSS Butterfly Blooms stamp set. It's only been in the not-yet-used basket for about a year, I believe. It's still there because I won't put it away until I've used every flower and butterfly.
Say it with me now, "What was I waiting for?!" The flowers in this stamp set are all so pretty and very easy to color. I did this with a few simple strokes of Tombow markers, not aiming for perfection, but a loose and simple look. The flowers and butterfly are hand cut.
As for the challenges:
- I cannot resist the Triple B Challenge -- Birds, blooms, butterflies. They always have such a beautiful inspiration board.
- Seize the Birthday is asking to see green as your main color. Optional anything goes.
- Of course, I have to share in Darnell's NBUS Challenge #84 again. My never before used schtuff today is the Simon Says Stamp Feathery Fronds 3D embossing folder (brand new) and the Butterfly Blooms stamp set.
That's all for today! I'm glad you dropped in. Take care and have a perfect day!
