Mother's Day Flower


Hi there!  Just popping in quickly while Luis throws some food on the grill.  I've got a card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and the Paper Players Tic Tac Toe challenge where I used the bottom row - Pink + Leaf/Leaves + Flower.  I used a Papertrey Ink leaf die in place of the circle on the sketch.  The flower is Altenew which I watercolored with Distress Inks nd I added some Stickles to the center.  
That's it for tonight.  Hope you have a wonderful week!

ETA:  The lovely Sandie suggested I join in with the current challenge at Time Out - flowers with the optional twist of stamp kissing.  No kissing here but definitely a flower!  :)















Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Watercolor) Ranger, (Going Green, Basic Black) Stampin' Up
Stamps:  (Flower from Wild Hibiscus) Altenew, (sentiment from Mother Knows Best) Fresh Squeezed Stamps
Inks:  (VersaMark) Tsukeniko, (Jet Black Archival Ink, Tattered Rose, Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Mustard Seed) Ranger
Embossing Powder:  (Opaque Bright White Super Fine) Wow
Glitter:  (Yellow Stickles) Ranger
Gems:  Recollections

I'd been debating about this Altenew flower. So when it ends up in my cart, and DH asks why, I'm telling him it's your fault, ; ) lol!! This is gorgeous. I keep stopping typing and staring at your card. CAS, pretty, happy, and filled with love. You've got a winner here, for realsies. LOVE this card. Bev

You are making me look forward to barbecue season, where I can stretch my stamping time that little bit longer. :P Beautiful take on the sketch!
