ANEMONE

Here's my card for this week's TicTacToeChallenge#254 designed my Linda.  I went down the right side with patterned paper, dry embossing and blue.

I diecut the card base using an arch die and then cut a smaller arch and embossed.  For the flowers I used some patterned paper.  Arranged it all, added a little sentiment, a few clear enamel dots and done!

Hope to see your card in our gallery these next two weeks - challenge closes at noon on 29 August.  Crafty Hugs,

 

BASKETFUL OF SUNFLOWERS

I was recently asked to be the guest designer for the TImeOut Challenge and gladly accepted.  This go around is "Inspired by Words" and the specific words are a quote by Lilly Pulizer - "It's Always Summer Somewhere".  One summer, while driving across northern North Dakota, the fields of sunflowers were as far as the eye could see - a truly glorious sight.  The memory of that was my summer inspiration for my card.

My flowers and the basket  are both from The Greetery and the brick wall embossing is from Alternew.  After putting it all together, I spattered with some white acrylic and added the little birthday sentiment.

There is a $25.00 gift certificate and an opportunity to be a guest designer awaiting the winner.  You have from August 1 - August 14 to enter.  Hope to see your card in the gallery!
