F-L-O-W-E-R Word Challenge ODBDSLC202

     UPDATE: Excited to learn my card won the challenge. Thanks so much to ODBD for such fun challenges.
     Hope you are having a wonderful day! Thanks so much for taking a minute to visit my blog. Today I have a card for Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge.

 

     The goal of this week's challenge is to use at least four of the letters of the word 'flower' as a recipe for our cards. Here is what I came up with.

     F - Fancy Foliage and leaves die cuts from ODBD

     L - layers

     O - oval

     W - words from Earth Verses stamps collection from ODBD

     E - easel card

     R - rhinestones

     This easel-card was a fun card to make. I really enjoy making my own embellishments like I did here with the flower. And, I made color-matching 'diamonds' by coloring clear gemstones with one of my Copic markers.

     I created the other die cuts using Spellbinders dies that I recently won in a blog hop. Beautiful dies and they make me look so talented. 

     There is still time to join in on the fun. Check out all the details here: http://www.ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/odbdslc202-f-l-o-w-e-r-word-challenge.html

Purple Christmas

     Easel cards are so much fun to make! I made this purple and blue Christmas card through a long string of challenges with another Fiskateer. Don't know what a Fiskateer is? Click on that button over there on the left. We have so much fun there!

I used stamps from both Inkadinkado and Fiskars. I stamped the doily and sentiments with white ink. The patterned paper comes from the Paper Studio. Every year I try to choose colors for my Christmas cards that people don't expect like this one that is purple and blue. I've also done turquoise and white which are beautiful together. Thanks for stopping by.
